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".

It would actually be two seperate shops, connected by the front section. I've seen businesses *sort of* like what i want to do before, like a sandwich shop and an antique store. But there would be a seperate crew doing the Food Prep than there would be doing the comic book selling, but just one central check-out cashier area. So in essence it would be both! A Comic-themed sandwich shop AND a comic book store with a sandwich counter!

Only problem with mixing the two...not sure if you'd want un-purchased merchandise in the food area. Could get mucked up quicker.

No food allowed in to the comic shop... BIG SIGNS and employees to tell them NO!

Ah that works! I worked at a bookstore that was set up very similar, with a shop - cafe.
