Guess great minds think alike, because this is something I've been toying around with for a while too! You could petition a couple of the big online shops (ebogu.com, eguchi.com, etc) to see if you could become a regional outlet for them. You could argue that you could be someone people could talk directly to and you would have goods continuously on display so that people could actually examine them first hand rather than having to ship returns and such. Doesn't seem like a bad idea but the one big problem I can think of is the possiblility of a lack of martial arts interest in your area. Best of luck to you!
