Yes, but only to the extent that they have to cover employee costs and the cost of shipping with lower volumes of merchandise at those stores (not too much difference in staffing levels between their average stores and their smallest stores, and the cost of shipping a half-full truck is the same as a full truck, really, and sometimes more if those stores are away from the major highways and population concentrations).
