Except they don't, they have the absolute minimum storage to keep the shops 
in-stock.  Any additional storage is wasted money, not just because of the 
building costs, but because the product could be cash instead, earning money 
in the bank.  Ever heard of Just In Time business?

Where I used to work, even if a truck turned up an hour early to deliver 
stuff (which they knew they couldn't, they usually waited in the street) it 
sometimes wouldn't even be possible to unload because there would be no 
empty slots in the warehouse.
