Since the business has grown so much they are ready to expand, they are ready to take the next step and they have bought an old bar in the city center of Edinburgh, in the well-known Royal Mile section of the city that is very popular among the tourists �

They are also participating every year in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where they have a physical booth where they are promoting their books and sells their custom coffee brew � The custom coffee brew is a passion they have, and a project they have been developing recently �

They want to build a community around their bookshop by using a part of the premises to have a coffee bar where they are selling their custom-made coffee brew � Since they love rare second-hand things, they want to furnish the premises with unique and interesting items from thrifts shops � They want the bookshop to be a place where customers want to sit down, discuss books and ideas while they drink the custom-made coffee brew �
