It varies.
If the location is far away, but the price/customer service is good, then I will make the effort to go out there once in a while.
If the location is really close by, then I'll pop in out of convenience (whether I buy much will depend on selection & price of livestock/goods).
Rarely go to big box stores though. Generally poorly informed, poorly trained employees compared to smaller LFS.
Overall, the most important factors are probably customer service (if I don't like the people, why bother spending my money supporting their store?), selection of livestock (oooooh new corals), and price (wow, I can afford to actually buy what I see).
