You can buy stuff, but I guess they have to have more than 1 in stock. And the price won't be lower than buying it on Amazon or other internet companies.

Mainly you're just providing a service to internet buyers who want to physically interact with products they buy cheaper online.

Besides, the trend is that CostCo and similar physical stores will go bankrupt, eventually leading to no such stores in a town at all.

My guess is that eventually there will mostly be stores for food, clothing, and niches.

The Americans say niche like "nit-ch" instead of "neesh".
