Rent a little bit of space for a Tim Horton's storefront with free wifi.
I don't have the details on your locations but that might be a way to keep "the other halves" entertained lol.
Edit: How about a ball-pit for the kids? Just kidding

Wifi with one or 2 mediocre computers for people who don't have it on their pad/phone. Solves the bored people problem right away. Make a list of easy to access places that are close by that they can visit for a hour or so. You're fellow local merchants will like you more and you can hold your customers ransom for a bit longer and sell more stuff.
Excellent lighting. Prevents accidental buyers remorse when they get it home and the finish/color is not what they though it was. You seem to know your customers pretty well but it never hurts to think 360. Gun + spare mags/speedloaders + ammo + cleaning stuff + targets + target patches + cases = I don't have to be arsed to go anywhere else to get stuff done.
Indoor Hogans Alley paintball range. Probably way off scope but I'd bet you make a killing renting full auto's.

Do you know when the new store will be completed? I'll be up around there in July and was planning to stop by the store.
Maybe not a full on lounge. But back to the shopping, most clothing stores have what I like to call the "boy bench" in the change room while our ladies try on the entire store. That being said perhaps a "wife bench" is the answer with magazines with such desirable content as home and garden and fashion lol or a TV with the food network, not HGTV tho.... that's a bad idea because then the argument comes out "you just spent $2000 on a firearm guess what I'm doing to the kitchen!"

Saw a comment about going off topic with kitchen stuff...
in montreal, there is a store that is owned by a man and his sister, half of the store is selling kitchen products, the other half (maybe a little less of half) is selling guns and ammo .
Both sides seem to be doing great business...
Yep..... its hilarious
Dante Sports- it's a great store!
My wife rolled her eyes when I told her about the "mens" and "womens" sides (not officially). Then when I went in- she left me alone as long as I wanted while she looked at all the kitchen gear.
If I may add. There is nothing shamefull to have two business under the same roof.
My spouse is a physician (a family doctor) and her major hobby is knitting for our grand children and for me (yes I have to wear those things...) and belive it or know these wool stuff cost a bundle and knitting store are making good business. At my office there is a knitting club.
Also having a good coffee shop would be great.
