Things I’ve learnt this week: Taking on a commercial lease is no mean feat, and not one for the faint of heart, or indeed those over-excited at the idea of becoming a bookseller (that’ll be me then).
I’m loving your journey of trying to open a book shop. Dipping you toe in with a pop up shop sounds a good idea. If you want your space to be a community space too have you thought of becoming a CIC - that way you could access (possibly free) support for leases and the like as well as funding. Wishing you all the best and look forward to hearing more.
You absolutely will… you’re doing all the right things. Engaging with people and taking them with you on the journey. Brilliant.
This is a heartwarming story Anna. You've got me hooked.. I can't wait to hear more...
blessings and luck x
Thank you! Let's hope I pull it off!
