How often do you visit your local vac shop?

Hello!
I was wondering how often everyone visits their local vac shop. I go to mine probably two to three times a month, Mainly because I always need parts.
Thanks

Not as much as I would've liked but I should go back for a visit at some point since they just renovated one of their shops.

I go when I am allowed to, usually every 2-3 months. Mine isn't a traditional vacuum shop, rather one in a large chain. They have lots and lots of parts for modern machines, though not so with machines more than 15-20 years old.

Once every month or two. The nearest vac shop is 88 miles away so I combine a vac shop visit with a Costco run, often on days when I have a medical appointment nearby.

They are all gone where I live. Had 3. They fell like dominoes every 10-12 years one shut down. The last one I suspect was donating its inventory to the thrift store because I kept finding massive retail supply packs of bags that was not available to consumers. And then I found a big bag of random belts that had a Hoover 700 series belt in it, OEM. I was floored.

That is a shame, they should have asked about collectors.
