I understand your predicament. But technology has taken over. Consumers will come view and try your products, and then search online for the best deals.  Some dont even bother coming over, prefer to view online reviews and purchase online. This is really bad for retail business. Retail business owners have a lot of overhead like expensive rentals, staff wages, license fees etc etc.
Some brands especially reputable brands want dealers to open retail stores through franchise or consignment contracts, have grand showrooms etc. That is why you see lesser and lesser retail stores. It is just not viable to open one, unless you have super deep pockets so that you have negotiation powers with the distributor/ supplier.

Times are changing, business owners either follow the flow or get left behind. Simple as that.
