New York - A bookstore owner Bushwick is offering customers cheap and affordable booze to give them a reason to stick around longer and spend a little more cash.
Molasses Book store owner Matthew Winn opened his Hart Street shop late last month knowing it would be difficult to sustain on the sale of used books alone.
“In the 21st century you might need to be more open to subsidizing the fetish of selling physical literature with other things,†the New York Daily News quoted Winn, 27, as saying.
Winn has been selling freshly-brewed hot and iced coffee to browsing book lovers.
“I always wanted a place that was a small well-curated bookshop where you can come through, spend time, and have a beer,†he said.
“It’s a shame that people feel they have to leave as soon as they buy the book,†he said. “I needed to give people a reason to stick around,†he added.
