Have you ever tried to sell anything to a brick-and-mortar chain? Price is not a concern, they have money. The sales process involves convincing a number of stakeholders, and this is much costlier (to them) than whatever they end up paying for your product.
Regardless of what you intend to charge for your software, your first customer would be "chartered" (they wouldn't pay much, if at all). You'd get in the door because your wife is friends with the daughter of the CFO of BigBoxChain, or something like that.
All of the above is doable of course, but the idea itself is worth nothing. It's 100% sweat. All about execution, in other words.
