Sure, CCS has a long history in skateboarding, especially back when it was a little catalog. They fill a void for skaters living in cities where there aren't skate shops. But in thriving scenes they're thought of as a burn on local shops, which foster their local scene by sponsoring pro skaters with free boards or shoes when they start out. When you replace the small retailer with a massive mall store, you're left with a dwindling skate scene.
