I'd copy Starbucks, but sell scotch and martinis instead of coffee. All of the classy people would bring in their overpriced MacBooks and copies of Ayn Rand and take a wingback chair, while Bobby Darin plays in the background. Perhaps even install a drive-through as well.
@TehFlan: We should be next door from each other. I'm fairly certain that drinking leads to space-travel, and that space-travel leads to drinking.
If I owned a store in the US it would be a store that imported Canadian goods. Moose, Caribou, Bison, Seal, Canadian candy and junk food, Tim Horton's, etc. Add a bakery/restaurant to make Canadian foods like Poutine, Gratine, Nanimo Bars and so on.
If I owned a store in my current area that sold video games I would try to expand the product offering rather than depend on used games. I'd include a section for video game novels/comics, art books, video game movies/anime, T-Shirts, action figures, framed art and I'd have some arcade machines. I'd also have a couch set up with the demo unit so it's actually a nice place to hang out.
As much As I would love to sell Porn, or video games, there is something called the internet and there is a real reason why other retail stores that sell video games start pushing preorders and stuff. So my final answer would be alcohol or medical weed.

I like the idea of us being neighbors, but you may want to rethink that drive-through.
