FWIW, both the HobbyTown USA shops I visit with any sort of frequency have pretty extensive rocketry sections, albeit with most everything at MSRP. The nearest one does sell bulk boxes of motors for less to support school groups, which I appreciate.
I visited two yesterday. Previously, they had no kits or motors. Today, they had a few motors and kits. All Estes and no Aerotech. I stand corrected.
