One consideration ,
Im at a touring destination, western end of a transcontinental route
and pass through touring from WA down the coast location ,
but most people have their kit when they arrive ,
so the best gear is not bought, so the Mgr wont stock it. repair parts yes,
sometimes they cannibalize a wheel off a bike on the floor to get people back on the road ,

but thats 3 maybe 4 months. out of 12.

touring , the shop people work in the summer , so they dont go out, when the job needs them to stay.

I had to do post working there things to go on tours , but I did get my bike together.

so I cannot say what a touring shop is , REI has bikes and camping-back packing gear

under the same roof ... so that's close..


May I advise, .. decide what you need , and have the shop order it,
if they don't have it in stock when you get there .
