I definitely think you're on to something there. I'm south of 44 and many of my neighbors and myself get things delivered frequently rather than bother going to a physical store. We get Amazon and Kroger deliveries at least once per week. I don't really feel like the retail is that sparse. I can get to Home Depot or Lowes in around 10 mins. That's about the same as my "up north" home. A closer Walmart would be convenient but having to drive 15 mins to the one in Oxford doesn't bother me very much.
