There's nothing inherently wrong with that destination type of store, where would the Mall of America, 5th ave NYC, Las Vegas, Michigan Ave, and Rodeo Drive be with out them

With that said, if I'm ever lucky enough to get to those areas in Stockholm or Tokyo I would definitely stop in and have a beer and bite and stare at bikes. Which reminds me, I'm gonna go to One on One and get some soup for lunch.
