You mean including also staff wages? Would that also cover a wage for the owner? Or, in other words, a tiny bit of profit so the owner can live out of it?
The owner being myself. I would pay my workers a fair price. Would work around school schedules and such. I would meek out the bare minimum for me but that would be it.
In that case, you should definitely open the shop.
I think, tough, that your prices will be higher than normal retail, due to volumes and supply chain.
Also, the local “Wall-Mart” (or whatever corporation) would need to sell a very small loss for a few months to kill you, while subsidizing their loss with other shops in other locations…
You can’t win. But you can try and people will undoubtedly appreciate that
Not looking for a fight but back in my hometown an Aldi;s is going to open up right across the street from a Wal-Mart. And yet they Aldi’s is a huge company.

At this point, try to put a cap on greed.
