Thinking of selling paddles on my shop…

I own a small business in a small town. We primarily sell screen printed and embroidered spirit apparel for the local schools and use the storefront to work with customers on custom orders of t-shirts, hats, uniforms, etc.

Our city recently put in two nice courts at a park near my shop. I love playing and it seems to be catching on (as it is everywhere). No one in town sells gear, so it got me thinking I’d like to stock some paddles and balls in the shop. I’m pretty sure the city would allow me to hang a small sign advertising this on the court fence.

Initial thought was to look at some small wholesale offerings from AliExpress because I’ve really been happy with a couple of paddles I got for myself there. Also thought about just buying on Amazon and flipping - thought being even if they checked pricing, they can buy it in the moment from me and go play rather than wait for shipping. Neither of those options are the best.

Also thought about seeing if I could get set up with a company like Joola or Selkirk that offers a nice variety. I really think the more economical beginner paddles will be what I need to stock as most folks on the area are just starting out and won’t wanna drop over $40-50 on a paddle at first.

Any thoughts, advice, guidance?
