Will a Bookstore Thrive in Belize City?
I, like many others, dream of opening a bookstore. Spending my days talking to others about what they're reading, getting recommendations, and living a quiet life.
But does Belize City have a reading culture who would support a local bookstore?
There's Bricks and Books downtown, but their selection is limited and frankly, not too enticing. And on top, super expensive.
Bookstores are struggling in America, so I doubt I'll make it big here.
Some people sell online on FB and IG, but honestly, it comes back down to terrible online/customer service, expensive products and shipping interdistrict fees.
and yes, I'm looking for a physical space, not too big, where people can come in, browse, sit and read a couple of pages with a cold beverage.
Thoughts?
