In Huntsville, AL there's a gaming/card shop that I've been going to since I was 6. Main reason it's been successful is that there's no other place in town like it. Front room has comics, cards, anime, manga, and toys. Back room has food and computers, with alot of tables for anything you want to do. Has a good location right next to a major movie theater. Alot of tournament and LAN events.
So it's alot of factors that'll make or break you.
