How to start a community-based business

What kind of small-business do you own? What is the neighborhood like?

Here is a more concrete example of what I am talking about: My friend and I were discussing the neighborhood and she pointed out that there wasn't a grocery store. Now, this nieghborhood might not be big enough yet to support a grocery store. So what are the other options?

The idea we came up with was a farmer's market. Something small-scale that would provide fresh veggies cheap. We would do it once a week. Obviously, part of this is figuring out your own capacity. My friend and I are both in our early twenties. A weekly farmers market is all we can afford to try right now.
