Jamestown Distributors has adopted an online only sales model. In years past, in addition to the retail outlet, they ran delivery trucks to the regions around Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts to service wholesale accounts such as the many boatbuilders and marine businesses in the area. It encouraged many dealers to buy from JD especially with regards to paints and chemicals which often were expensive to ship. That stopped as well.
I suspect the efficiency of an ecommerce business saved the cost of labor and in store inventory in the long run. Their business hours (posted on google) are likely accurate although they no longer sell to walk in customers.

I'm sat here in their driveway looking at a sign that reads, "the store is permanently closed" Google said they're open...
