Who would open a bookshop in a pandemic!?

Shop to let… July – looking in the window… we’d been dreaming/hoping even yearning for years – is this our shop?  Can we really open a bookshop in the middle of a global pandemic?

Spreadsheet – cash flow, trying to think of every cost we would incur – could we do this??? Well, we aren’t going to get rich – but we’ll get by.. we’d have to….  Business Plan…. On paper it all looks great.

The local bookshop announces its closing – there’s petitions on Facebook to keep it open….

This could be the one…
