I have worked at CarQuest, Kragen, & O'Reilly. Times are tough for ALL brick & mortar businesses. Beside property taxes, business licenses increases they face huge increases in liability insurance, workers who don't show up, workers who don't or can't work when they do show up, massive losses to shoplifting + smash & grab. They also face price increases, supply chain problems and parts shortages. My son is a commercial counterman at an O'Reilly in Reno and I hear about it all the time. Times are tough and right now the online places seem to have the best of it until you get the wrong or a bad part and begin the return phase of inline buying. Once the local choice is gone I doubt it the prices will stay the same. We live in a tough time for business. I went to 4 different businesses today trying to find some 16 mm bolts and finally ordered them online when I got home.
