studying the book offer.
In this particular situation, the investors will have to obtain business permits that will allow them to serve beverages and foodstuff products.

opening a bookstore, it is recommended to choose a
crowded location, such as the
center of the city or a
commercial area, which can ensure a
large share of customers.
