I'm looking for ideas.

I am in the process of buying a Hardware/Lumber store in MT and would like some ideas on what to carry. It is a small town (about 2000 people in the county and adjoining area). It is primarily a lumber yard at this time with a small sales area with some of the usual- Paint, plumbing, electrical, tools, etc. We have an Ace Hardware locally that has a larger inventory but is higher priced. The town is very transient with most folks going home on days off (coal mining and a power plant).

What are some things that you folks see lacking in small town stores? What kind of items are you looking for on a common basis that most stores don't carry a selection of? Services?

Any and all ideas are welcome as are any questions.

Thanks
Shane
