If you don't live in New York, open a New York-style deli. When I visited my brother in Chicago I realized that the corner store/deli isn't really a thing in most cities, and it should be.

A proper deli sells groceries, beer, cigarettes, newspapers/magazines, some convenience store/pharmacy stuff. They also make fresh salads, sandwiches, hot breakfast, burgers and other grill items. Think "Subway"-style hero sandwiches, but with genuinely fresh ingredients and much better quality meats and vegetables. The best ones also do takeout and delivery.

Pasta and Italian food could easily fit into the menu. Most of them don't do pizza, but they do chicken/meatball part and stuff like that.
