That reminds me, Winnipeg is (was?) a test market for a tweaked concept on Home Outfitters changing them all to "Hudson Bay Home" stores. If memory is correct the main change was adding beds, major appliances and BBQs to the stores.

In terms of local stores doing fulfilment, Best Buy for example takes an online order, looks if it is in-stock locally, then sends it from the store to your shipping address. As the pickup and destination under that model are both "local" it can cut 1-2 days out of the normal online order delivery timeframe compared to the larger fulfilment model. It is also mostly seamless to the customer as their order just comes to them.
