Good morning, everyone!

delete if not allowed, just sorta trying to get a feel for this before I go and do something that sinks

I've got a question that's not directly Incontinence related, but sorta is.

I've toyed with the idea of created/starting a brick and mortar store for incontinence products, as well as natural medicines/essential oils and all that stuff.

I've done digging here and other places and notice there lack of actual stores that sell decent products and offer things like buying one or two of this product, a couple of this (think build a pack/box of products, fill the box pay X price and find something(s) that work for you.

My thoughts are store brands suck, and for quite a few folks depends and what you grab off a Walmart shelf never works quite like you want it to (if they do, that's fine, but I very quickly discovered Walmart products didn't work and set out buying and trying about anything I could get my hands on off the internet)

How many people would actually shop at, or at least visit, a store with a wide range of products from everywhere like Northshore to ABDL brands (because let's face it, they do make some really nice products if you can look past the prints..), as well has selling stuff outside of diapers or pads for helping with incontinence, and also having a good selection of things like essential oils and vitamins and other supplements/supplies?

I'm no idiot, I know ABDLs would flock to a store like this I'm sure, and while that's fine and good, i don't see that being an "everyday customer" situation and really want to bring good, high quality products to a shelf someone can come and see, look at, buy a couple, try them out and if they work either come back and buy from me/have me order product XYZ in bulk for them or at least be able to know which products they do and don't like and what does and doesn't work, and give people an option of not simply having to run to a Walmart or Target nd grab whatever they happen to have in stock.

For "planning purposes", I live near Knoxville, TN, so the store would likely be somewhere withing 30-40 minutes of Knoxville, give or take, along the I40/I75 interstate system.

Thanks for reading! Again i apologize if this sorta post isn't wanted, but I've talked with some of the bigger brands and they're on board, or were, and I've talked to some friends and looked at a few empty buildings for a store... But before I sink money into a location and licenses and whatnot, I want to see what the general feel for a store like this is.
