How to make money as an LHS owner

will leave it to just adding this link: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.the350project.net/home.html">http://www.the350project.net/home.html</a><!-- m -->

not specifically about hobby shops but worth a look IMHO.

I agree that I should make an effort to buy things that I need locally.

However, I will not subscribe to the "Save the Local Hobby Shop" and make pity purchases of stuff that I don't want or need. I hate to be forced to NEVER leave the store empty handed, no matter what.
