How would this store afford to pay its employees, rent and utilities if it only sold things at cost? One store alone would also make no difference, you’d need a chain of many stores.
I am talking like a small town. Buy.build business outright have a couple investors for tax purposes and only employee people going thru hard times who want to work and give them a percentage in store. Cover all insurance cost and everything.

I suggest having a side business to help prop this ‘at cost’ idea up. Could be as simple as a moving truck rental business.
