Anyone see 'Stihl' branded shops anywhere other than in NZ?

Here in NZ 90% of Stihl dealerships are fully branded 'Stihl Shops' as below. Instead of a Farm machinery dealer or hardware store with a corner selling Stihl, these are fully branded shops with a huge range and the staff wear Stihl branded clothing. Most have really good backup, lots of parts on hand and a very high level of expertise/knowledge. Most would also sell other brands (this store is also a Walker dealer) and Stihl NZ would take a percentage of the sale of any other brand other than Stihl sold through the store. Is there anywhere else in the world with a similar setup?

Australia has them, our local is a Stihl partnership so they sell echo and service lawnmowers so it doesn't look like that one . Theres a couple of other ones near us that do though, Upper Hutt and Carterton I think.
Its a pretty tough gig, the tills are hooked up to stihl head office so they clip the ticket on everything.

If you're on instagram you can follow these guys, I think they took out top stihl shop in Australia last year. They have a huge vintage stihl collection. do some pretty impressive restorations too
