the suggestions about checking with CPA, Chamber of Commerce, etc., are right on. If you're not a guild member, join, and use the knowledge in that group to gather data about what local problems are, what is missing, what folks like, etc.,..that type of information will direct you to specific things needed and wanted in your area. Stores in other parts of the country can tell you what works for them, but their local economy, size of community, interest in quilting, etc., will probably not all be the same as yours.
