There is no central warehouse that holds Macs, ready for delivery.
The general rule is that NOTHING is 'in stock' in stores.
Everything, especially unusual or expensive items, is built to your order in a factory in the Far East and delivered as quickly as possible directly to you or to a store for your pickup.
Extremely rarely, when you go to place an order, you discover that the lead-time in NOT the expected around two or three weeks, but the delivery for your exact item is very short, such as next-day. This is because certain high-demand items might have been pre-ordered to have a few available to support multiple stores in a large metropolitan area. Exactly where these are stocked is unknowable, and probably random.
