Not that I have the slightest clue on running a store, but harping on what @Maj said, a more boutique store would be great from my perspective as a customer.
Maybe get involved with the different trends that pop up I’m thinking similarly styled to The Woods Cyclery/Seabass. Get involved with what’s going on over seas with the trendy releases in Japan Blue Lug/CrumbWorks.
Maybe focusing on the smaller limited releases from Nitto, Mks in the bike packing/xBiking realm. Team up with a local bag maker maybe do store specific colour ways. Not so bothered personally about the cafe side of things but hat might just be me. But a place to view these boutique brands in real life with a good sense of community around would be the one.
As for the social media side like what’s been said already, do away with the copy paste descriptions and pictures , a nicely styled website with real opinions on the products would be great.
Maybe this is just my idea of the ultimate shop haha!
