There's definitely additional inventory at retail stores that does not show up online. I myself was in line couple of weeks ago (since I wanted to buy "device-only" and also trade in a phone) and saw phones offered to others in line that were not in the online inventory.
If you really want that phone, get in line between 8 - 9 am tomorrow (and the next couple of days if needed); it's really the only way. There's almost no chance of snagging an AT&T 128Gb iPhone 6 Plus (especially black) online.
This being Lancaster, PA, I don't think there will be a long line before the store opens, so I'd imagine showing up at 9:55am is fine, but you may be right.
So are you sure that they receive inventory during the day but do not offer it for sale until the following morning? If so, that does contradict some (but not all) of the things I've read online.
