Thanks for all the input guys...

We will definitely have an install bay or two - I already have done Magnaflow installs here in this shop without a lift, not to mention my own cars.

In terms of detailing supplies, I have 80% of what would be in a retail store already here now, just need display shelving and some visuals.

Performance parts are another are that scares me inventory-wise, for good reason (cost and space). If you go into a typical performance shop (spencers or Roadrunners as examples), they carry every AN fitting, gasket, and whatever else - taking up a lot of space and carrying cost.

I was thinking more of having displays with an item on the wall and maybe the absolutely most popular parts in stock - don't need to be overloaded. My main distributor only takes a day to get parts if they are in stock locally. Obviously certain things we will need to have in stock all the time.
