Well, we decided to visit some friends in Nova Scotia as part of our summer mystery tour, and found a Lee Valley store. Of course, had to stop by for a visit, even tho it is 2055 miles from home!
Very different from a Wood Craft or Rockler store (which I visited in Portland ME -- see a pattern here?) there is a long counter along one side of the store, customer's "take a number" and place their orders when called. Most of the tools etc are in wonderful display cases, but behind lock and key. We didn't stay long because we had limited time with our friends, and I didn't want to bother with customs returning to the states. But heck, at least I now know what the store behind the catalog looks like!
