The cynic on my shoulder is whispering that it sounds too good to be 
true. I'm wondering how tightly bound into TC's other business ventures 
their retail outlets are.

And as has been stated the state of all shops is currently closed.
A USP of OSM is how quickly we can, or at least, should, be able to 
react to these sorts of changes, but as I said previously, there's a lot 
of faffing.
