What I meant with stores with a website is: pure internet retailers are scary to a lot of people I know (in their 30's). So they only want to buy online if they know it's a real (=physical) store.
Stores are expensive": labor costs, social security, environmental laws, safety laws etc etc. It's just very expensive. So those costs are reflected in the costs of the product. Well that stores is NOT going to cannibalize it's store prices.. with offering it cheaper online. Hence the same high prices online. And we've come full circle.
