49 km bike ride ending with a flat tire

Total of 404 measly miles on the year. I will hit 1000.
Great ride until I blew out the side wall 17 km from home. I would have had the wind at my back all the way home, recouping my efforts into the wind for the first half of the ride. Called Mary for a ride and we drove straight to the bike shop to find they are out of business. Where do I buy Trek in Peoria now? Nowhere.
