Answer 1

Make a prototype of your board game and invest some time into getting people to play blind play tests. That is take the game to a group that hasn't played it and just hand them the game and instructions. Don't explain how to play the game, just observe and see what they have a hard time with and what rules they miss. This can really help you find out what rules and strategies in your game seem obvious to you, but might be difficult for others to follow.

Once you have made your prototype, make several more and send them to manufacturers that might be interested.

If you're stuck on what manufacturers would be interested in your game and you don't want to write all of them an e-mail, go to your local games store and find board games that are similar to yours.  They'll have the manufacturers name on it and more likely than not they'll be interested in similar games to ones they have already produced.

Here is a list of board game manufacturers -

I recommend you take a look at the Boardgamegeek forums and having a chatter with them about it -

--Edit--

Sorry about that, I misunderstood the question.  I thought you had produced the game and were looking for stores to buy it.  Nevertheless this information could come in handy.
