If your store is anywhere in the Central to West Texas area then stock your shelves with some type of foggers! Yellow Jackets flock to box stands and the best way to get them out is to fog the stand with a insect fogger!
I cant tell you how many times I have been in stores in October and November and seen the shelves picked clean of foggers because of deer hunters buying them up!
I finally got smart and started buying them here in Dallas and taking them with me!
Ice is a big money maker too!

How about firewood...you can't gather it up if you are in the state park.
Lighter fluid and charcoal, if not firewood.

Great thread.....What's the name of your store and an address. My brother and I hunt just outside of Bagwell and would love to give our business to you instead of Wal-Mart. Also you might think about an assortment of automotive fuses for those of us that tend to blow them while out there. You can't go wrong with the small propane bottles as the only place out there that carries them is Wal-Mart (YUK!!) Not that I hate Wal-Mart, I just can't stand to be around that many people that have no commen sense at one time.

For sure Malox or tums, liquid and tablet forms. It just depends on whose cookin'. Corn, Scent killer, Tinks #69 would be good and rattling bag and grunt calls. Wasp Spray, Breakfast tacos Cold beer and sodas. Copenhagen Long Cut for those still afflicted, I was for 30 years. But mostly a smile and good service!

Tape measure, 12" ruler won't work  !! I guess it should be one of those seamstress type flexible ones for B&C measurements. Allergy Meds. If I forget something I generally do without. (and remember it next time). I don't like going to town. But if I need to fix something, I hate having to go town to town to get an item for a simple repair. And don't close a 2:00 on Sat. Repair stuff or Hardware section of some kind Assortment of nuts/bolts, nails Simple tools selection Some pipe fittings PVD/Galv/copper/Brass JB weld, magic puddy, type stuff. Stranded vehicle at the lease stuff: (Without becoming an auto parts store) Uni-belts for several popular pickup models. DEAD RIGHT THERE- stuff (CPS for Powerstroke is in my glovebox already)  Fluids Fuses jumper cables

RtPlaceRtTime, Not sure about international, it's just a plain old tang safety type Ruger 77 with a wimpy barrel, but it will sure shoot! Longest shot was at a yote, which was a lasered kill shot at 430 yds.
