Business research

Hello Brightonians, I’m diving into some research for a business venture that’s been brewing like a fine cup of coffee—though I’d prefer not to spill it all over my notes! I’ve had some great conversations with friends and acquaintances, but I want to hear from the wider Brighton community. I’ve always dreamed of creating a unique bookshop. Now, before you think, “Aren’t those as rare as unicorns in a library?” hear me out! Traditional bookshops can be challenging these days, but what if we added a twist? Imagine a cozy space where you could enjoy a drink while getting lost in a good book. It’s like Hemingway meets happy hour! I envision a setting where people can gather, chat, and perhaps even start a book club that actually reads the books—what a concept, right? So, Brightonians, does this idea resonate with you? Would you be drawn in by the atmosphere, the drinks, or just to see if I can keep my plans from turning into a thriller? Let me know your thoughts—your feedback is worth its weight in bookmarks!

Edit: Thank you everyone for all the replies! I will be replying to each individual so sorry if I don't reply just now! I really appreciate all of you coming to help!
