Has it already been done?

Just wondering if anybody has heard of a business like the one I'm planning...

Part sub-sandwich shop, part comic book store. Fresh home-made soups and other side dishes such as potato salad, macaroni salad, fresh baked cookies and home made potato chips. "Grab-N-Go" lunches that include a sandwich, a side dish and two random comic books. Dining area in the front, full service comic book store in the back.

And the name of this business? "Heroes".

Limit the amount of stuff you have to heat.

Yes, Warhammer takes a lot of shelf space and it is expensive to start since you can't just carry a few things. They want you to buy enough stuff to support at least one of their 3 primary games.

Exactly. Not only that, but you cna usually get the stuff on-line much cheaper than you can at a shop! The only way I ever see shops making money is by running tournaments, get a few players bored and waiting they'll eventually buy some stuff.

Not really. At least not with Warhammer. A lot of people don't buy over the Internet. A lot are too young to and there is the satisfaction of getting something immediately.
