Even Sports Authority has 6" x 18" foam rollers now. (I know, I know, but they're 10 miles closer than the running store... sorry.
) You'd be more likely to find The Stick at a more specialized store though.
Edit: my favorite bodyweight glute exercise is the Gymnast's Scale: stand on one leg, hinge at the hip while raising the opposite leg behind you so that you're in tabletop position in neutral spine from head to heel, then squat, being sure to hold tabletop. It may not even be more than a quarter squat but you will DEFINITELY feel it in those glutes!
And, search this forum for "foam roller." One of the PTs posted some links to videos that are very instructive.
I miss them.
Knot, Wahine, come back and I promise not to ask you any more stupid questions, or even intelligent ones that you're not getting paid to answer. Pretty please.
We like your company, not just your knowledge.
