There is a trading card shop here - in a village of 2500.
How?
4 magic players and 2 40k players should do it
Matter of fact, who needs the Magic players?
I knew a local trading card shop that was basically daycare for a high functioning autistic nepo baby
His rich parents 1) wanted to get his collection out of the house, 2) wanted HIM out of the house for at least part of the day, and 3) Figured the business losses as the cost of 'daycare', so the store never made money but it served a purpose
Used to clean up on locals there, you'd be surprised how much money you can make at card tournaments
Idk if 10% of the town patronizes it regularly and there's no other shops around that's like 250 customers coming in year round, let's say each spends an average of 150 in a year that's what .... 37 grand? Plus whatever online retail they can do.
If it's just like one dude that runs it and works there and pays themselves I could see it being viable.
Edit: probably would be a good way to launder some drug money though and I've found a lot of weed smokers in the mix of my nerd shops I frequent.
