The Collingswood auction was run by a guy named Dennis assuming it was the guy whose comic and mag stall was a disorganized mess that looked like a collyer's mansion. Dennis is still alive but retired and his remaining comic stock was sold to a younger guy.

Congratulations on the store opening! My only suggestions/comments as a former comic book store employee are these: Avoid merchandise; especially short or long boxes of books being on the floor or close to the ground. Most people don't like crouching or bending down to rifle through boxes due to stress on knees and back, especially comic book collectors, they'll do short flip thrus but not long looks. And there is always the odd person who isn't paying attention to where they are walking and end up kicking the boxes. Same thing applies to the glass displays up front. And for wall-art, I saw that you don't quite have your Diamond account set up yet so you haven't received all of those folded posters they send yet, but resist the urge to cover bare wall space with event posters unless you are sure that you will constantly rotate them out and have an eye for spacing. Nothing screams unkempt nineties comic book store more than a busy confused wall of outdated event posters with creases all over them. I suggest using original comic book art in frames or purchased rolled classic comic art posters in frames evenly spaced to cover empty wall space. Otherwise, looks great!
