Stores definitely stock what sells...I haven't been to a Galyans in Ohio, but I have been to the ones in Gaithersburg, MD and Fairfax, VA several times and these two stores definitely cater to the sports of rock climbing and kayaking, as there are more oportunities in this area for those activities. They also tend to stock a good supply of saltwater gear, being relatively close to the Chesapeake Bay.
