You may have a point. Maybe I should say: start with one good store
somewhere with big catchment, do it really well, train your staff, and
then put on-line on top before going country-wide.

I don't know how Screwfix started, but I didn't think they had stores
until later in their business development cycle. (then they got bought
by (forgot), and subtle alterations ruin things, but there you go,
way of the world - accountantitis and cost-plus-syndrome probably)

Seen too many companies that were doing well (from nothing a few years back)
being sold for profit, then the new company ruins them.
