I lived close by the TD in Naperville IL.  They just have a very small
store, buy you can get anything in the warehouse at the will-call
window.  Be aware of what you buy there.  A lot of the stuff in the
store is refurb.  They do not try to hide that it is refurb, they they
also do not make it obvious.

Their return policy is sucks, but there prices are usually very good.
