Talked with the owner today, and he is thinking of just not carring Games Workshop inventory anymore. Basically with the push of GW to sell more of the Fantasy stuff from the website, and pushing less models and now no books for Fantasy to the brick and mortar stores, it would begin to become a detriment. This saddens me because all the cool people I have met since playing have been in the store. I am hoping it doesn't come to this. GW won't let you only carry 40k so if he quits fantasy, then 40k is doomed as well.

If he just wants to carry 40k, he can get his products from a different distributor is all. Only difference is that it means new releases might be delayed, and his margins will be smaller for the products, but it can be done. GW has driven many LGSs to third party distributors with their excessive stocking demands of store owners. Why would a store where no one plays any WHFB want to fill their shelves with fantasy models that won't sell when they know if they fill that space with 40k models they will sell? Just another way GW is pushing the LGS owner out of their marketing plans.
