Why are vaping stores called Brick & Mortar?

Does anyone know? Just curious.

Uh...because most physical stores/buildings are made of bricks and mortars?

It's not vaping stores, but real stores in general. Cause that's what they are made out of, as opposed to a web site that there is no physical store.

Thanks both of you- now that you point it out, I see it. Duh....

You've never heard the term "brick and mortar" before? It's not a vaping term. It's just a term for a real store, made of concrete and bricks, that have employees that wear uniforms. And there's a parking lot. And they overcharge compared to online stores.

no, I never did, don't know why. I thought it went with the vaping community!
