I mean, if we're doing a wish-list/advice thing here:
I know you'll have overhead, labor, and inventory costs to deal with, but if you can price competitively, stock reasonably priced stripped lowers, a good stock of used and not-too-expensive used guns, and provide reasonable transfer fees for items you don't stock, you'll see me there on the regular.
There is nothing that irks me more than a store trying to force me to buy a much more expensive alternative product that they have on the shelves or can "special order" instead of just charging a reasonable fee for a transfer and let me get exactly what I want for a good price and have it transferred. They're driving away future sales with me instead of taking the easy money it brings in.
- Inexpensive (ie, sub $75) stripped lowers
- 80% Kits (Polymer 80, etc)
- A good selection of reasonably priced used guns
- Inexpensive transfers for items you don't stock.*
- A selection that gives a wide price range. Not everyone is willing to shell out $$$$ for a gun. Keep some basics no-frills stuff on hand.

. We are going to have the transfers and special orders of cause.
