I'm thinking that most shops (at least the ones I've been to) wind up developing a particular style, in that they tend to lean toward a particular type of fabrics. And it probably reflects the owner's preferences. Though, in the end, it's really about satisfying the customers' taste.
I have noticed this too... However when I was in Louisville, KY last time, the quilt shop owner's there all "specialize" so it does make it nice to be able to go to one shop for more selections, and no one is stepping on another's toes, so to speak. And each shops "specialities" do reflect the owner's preferences :D:D:D
