Have good credit. Do you think adding a Retail Card will imporve my score?

Hello. Do retail store cards help good credit get better or do nothing in the long run? Thanks for the opinions.

Mix of credit good.
 
Too many TLs bad  Smiley Very Happy
 
My local (Iowa) store card has 10 perfect years on it and is a major help to my score as I have so few active cards
 
Except for EX, to whom the store does not report
The slide from grace is really more like gliding
And I've found the trick is not to stop the sliding
But to find a graceful way of staying slid

If you already have cc's you do not need store cards. In some cases having them will hurt your profile.Good-1 mtg, 1 car loan, 3 cc's. Low balances.
