The Olde Book Nook
My dream business
November 2: If you started a retail business, what would it be? A cafe? A fitness centre? A flower shop? A bookstore? What would make it special, and what would you name it? (Rodrigo S-C)
For as long as I can remember, I have always dreamed of having a bookstore. Throughout my life, I have visited many used bookstores and that is what I would want to sell — used books.
There would be many comfortable plush chairs and also muffins and hot cocoa and coffee.
Special books, such as first editions or classics, would be highlighted on antique tables.
I would have a basket full of blank index cards for customers to write what they most like about books. The smell, the feel of the pages, escapism, etc.
The name of the store would be The Olde Book Nook.
