Actually a marketing thing that doesn't really work as well as they would hope.
When I was at Tilton, I would use the side apron that was to hold overstock instead of using the parking lot.

Didn't have to bring a hose across the pavement, and could set up the side apron like a small park to give people ideas for the backyard.
