I worked at a Viking dealer inside a JoAnns and was told by the folks at that JoAnns that depending on what is "sold" at the shop and how it moves dictates what they get. I am sure that somewhere there is a computer analyzing all the sales. They can special order stuff but they have no control what is shipped to them for stocking, even if customers complain.
