Sounds like a great idea for a project. The old Mall-mart is available, as are a few wearhouses south of town. Call them up and see what the rent is, then subtract at least 10-20% because these guys bargin like crazy.
Get in touch with the guy form AllSports GP in NOVA and see if you can take him to lunch and talk about his business. Say its for a class project, "and that you have no intensions of actually doing it" and he probably won't care too much.
As for the business plan side, you're in the project so you probaby won't need to much help there. Focus on the challenges that he has faced, what sort of relationships he has with his vendors, and what marketing tools he uses. Focus on reoccuing income, like subscriptions or non-contract subscriptions like annual meetings of groups. That makes budgeting much easier.
