I do know some knitters, they are very exacting: if you need "Size 7 circular needles," you better find one of these shops, or you must suffer online ordering / shipping. The supplies (yarn, especially, but really, all of it) are quite specific: "nothing else will do." And as I've shopped with such knitters at more than one of these shops and appreciate the specific senses required to make a yarn purchase (sight, touch, yes, even smell — a faint hint of lanolin can be detected, says my nose) the brick and mortar yarn shops we're talking about here are seriously better than online shopping. So, yes, when one of these shops exist, it often has a dedicated community, so much so that people do and will quite deliberately seek out a "yarn shop." I know people who will drive three hours (one way) to get to one. Good for OSM for mapping them.
