I have two LQS's witn in 10 miles. One is a cute little shop with lots of nice displays grouping fabric collections and/or kits and projects. It is about 6 yrs old and when I go in my eye finds something I've not noticed b4, likely b/c it's been moved around or changed. It's a great shop for browsing.
Now, the other LQS is about 22 yrs old and has tons of fabric. However there are no cute displays to keep me browsing. There are class samples hanging but not near the fabric. This shop does very few kits (I don't do kits but they are usually a pretty display) and doesn't have a spot for new arrivals. I find that despite all the fabric, that is lined on shelves on the walls with no break for the eye (no cubbies or imposed separation between the colors), I spend very little time in this shop. I go in, get what I need, and leave.
