I like a large selection of both guns and supplies. While I like low prices, I also know that service costs money, so I don't mind paying a little more for good service. Maybe I am weird that way, but I support local independent gun shops and have never bought a firearm over the net and rarely buy at gun shows.

I like the idea of a lounge area too. A few good regulars can go a long way towards building a base for your business. I miss this in motorcycle dealers where I used to be able to go hang out and just talk bikes with the sales guys. I still can do it in most hobby shops.

Probably the best advice I can give on the whole thing is to run it like you always wanted someone else to run one for you. You were a shooter first, and you remember what you wanted then, so give it to all of us.
