Default hobbyking store fronts

what do you guys think?
i got an email saying hobbyking is opening store fronts(looks like in large malls)
basically, they are gonna be hobby shops, selling hobbyking products as well as other major brands.
email said at some point you will be able to pick up orders at the store, as well as get stuff serviced.

sounds kinda cool to me. except i live in maine and i highly doubt i will see such a store in the mall closest to me(which is still 45mins away)

email:
This photo [left] was taken by a customer last night.
And here is what HobbyKing's Director has to say about it;

In an ever increasing effort to drive more value into the R/C market HobbyKing has begun piloting retail store franchises in select regions around the globe, underscoring HobbyKing's commitment to the R/C industry.
Each store will retail both HobbyKing and other branded products and will also serve as a service center for warranty and technical support.
Products sold online can be serviced in-store as well as sent back to your local service center.
At a later stage 'HobbyKing Store Front's will be filling local internet orders and pre-ordering requested items from any one of HobbyKing's warehouses locally and abroad.
We hope that the HobbyKing Store Front network combined with increased service levels and a 24hr support desk (ETA May-15) will improve quality of service and ultimately customer satisfaction.

well the end of the email says you can email the CS email and suggest a hobby shop or store you would like to see a HK storefront or HK parts in.
