For a shop to survive these days, it would need a catalog website plus sell through Amazon. I know the shop in Albany sells items through Amazon.
Plus, you'd need to offer a heck of a guide service. We have a shop in Corvallis, after coming and going many times, that offers many different guided trips... that isn't something you normally buy online.
I hope they can make it. I've seen many fly shops go down the drain and some were owned by good friends.
