Do you mean the Trek Wahoo rather than the Wahoo KICKR? The Trek website shows a number of stockists, although you’d need to check they have what you want in stock to look at.
The question here is one of morals vs economics. Yes, you can get some cheap stuff from a retailer with little or no interest in the industry and only in sweating the assets - but at what cost? Genuine cycling retailers are going to the wall as they struggle to compete with Evans/Sports Direct/House of Fraser/Wiggle who have huge purchasing power and can spread costs across a diverse portfolio.
So by all means grab that bargain, but where do you go when it needs support?
This is the basis of my refusal to fund a business with questionable morals. It may cost me more to buy stuff but that is the price of my conscience. I will also not buy Brewdog beer, despite liking the product.
Exactly. I support my LBS at every opportunity as I know/want it to be there when I need it. Yes, I pay significantly more for spares, tyres etc but then I can wander in at any time with an issue and if it's a quick fix I'm in and out in 30 minutes.The question here is one of morals vs economics.

We visited Evan’s at Yeovil this morning, I’m sure that will be the last time, unless I’m nearby and desperately need an inner tube. Severely down graded from the old Yeovil Tri-Centre, lots of cheap stuff, nothing of any use to us.
The upstair, which used to be the Cervelo store was closed off.
Two disinterested members of staff.
Very small selection of luggage and bike bags, which was the main objective of this visit.
Barely a nod to the needs of tri-athlete, no goggles. £5 flippers, no swimming goggles, secondary objective.
My daughter asked if I could remember the last time I visited a cycle shop and came away empty handed, I could not.
