Business Plan
We plan to open a place near college campus to reel in our target audience. We plan to expand our media outreach and hiring employees to help run the shop. We are small town local women wanting to expand outreach to the college students of our town. We must expand their knowledge to better them in their studies. We plan on selling text books and school required reading books alongside our typical bookstore genres.

Self Identified Competition
Our top competition is Cicada in west end Huntington. They are a small bookshop with a café. Another competitor would be Starbucks as many college students rely on those places as their go to study space. Finally, I would say BAM in Barboursville could be a potential competitor as another bookstore by the mall. We are planning on reaching to the college students as our main audience. They expect textbooks, as they are expensive and hard to find, and we will specialize in school reading. We also plan to have a bakery as half our store which isn't common for our college town. We strive to merge two of the most needed and most popular ideas into one.
