I've said for a while now that if I enough money to do something like it, I'd love to buy up the RadioShack name and re-open the business as effectively a bunch of local DIY repair shops like this. Work benches with tool rentals, test equipment rentals, digital microscopes etc, locker rentals and of course component sales (because yeah you can get resistors cheaper and in 1000 counts on Amazon, but being able to walk 20 feet to the counter and get the one you need right now and get back to what you're doing is valuable. Look into hiring some local old salts in the area that are retired and looking for some odd work from time to time and make sure you give them their own bench to work on their hobbies right there in the store / tutor the next gen.
