There was a store in Brooklyn a few years ago called Walk-In Cookbook. They did exactly this, plus if you called or set up a recurring subscription they would deliver the kits to anywhere within a mile or so of the store (which in New York City is a pretty good radius). They also sold basic cooking equipment, so if you were a novice cook you didn't even have to worry about getting gear. They even partnered with local restaurants to provide cross-branded kits based on their recipes. It was a great business that people in the neighborhood loved, but it also lost a ton of money and closed in under a year. I'm still sad about it.
