Well, I know for sure that the local brick and mortar  fish/pet stores don't 
look AT ALL favorable to the online competitors. I believe that one of our 
club's desire is to support, within our possibilities, the LFS, especially 
since some of them support our club in different ways; store discount to the 
club's members, donations, advertising, etc.
