RB: “We opened our bookstore at a time when many local bookstores were closing and when Kindle sales were spiking, so Amazon has always had an impact on the way we think about doing business. We set out to do what they do not — provide valuable, intimate, engaging customer experiences. Even our store design reflects this. We have a bookstore designed like an enchanted forest, with open spaces for community events, story times and reading. We also are serious about maintaining our children’s literature expertise. It may be easy to search for and find a specific title on the Internet, but where do you go when you need to find ‘the perfect book for a 4-year-old girl who loves horses and is about to become a big sister?’ or ‘a 7-year-old boy who is having trouble finding any books he enjoys reading?’ You go to your local independent bookstore, of course!
