CyLowe97, I agree 100%
Look at the perspective of the source, it is a business owner not a customer perspective. We have a new Performance store here too, and I find that most of the LBSs simply run as a business and not the local gathering place like they were in the past. If that is the model they want then they will have to face the music and see Performance as just another competitor.
I also find myself shopping at Performance more often than any LBS in the area, for the same reasons, selection and the 10% back (sometimes 20%).
