As with any busines you have to find the need that exists in that area.
Get a clip board & paper & pen & a friend and spend a day or two being a Market Research Company:
Talk with other shop keepers & other shoppers & ask:
Is there anything you have been looking to buy lately that you just can't find?
What type of thing do you feel you could only buy in person & would never shop for online?
Would you mind me asking the price range of that product?
Would it be something you buy more than once a year? More than twice a year?
If you find a product that 40% of the people want more than twice a year, that you can stand to sell. Your probably have a winner & can start your research.
