investment. We need to raise $194,500 to cover:
- Buildout and renovation
- Coffee equipment and POS systems
- Initial book and beverage inventory
- Furniture and fixtures
- Licenses, permits, and professional services
- Working capital for our first months
The Impact of Your Support
Every dollar helps create:
- Flatbush's newest independent bookstore
- 50+ jobs during construction and operations
- A community gathering space that's been missing
- Programming that brings neighbors together
- Support for local authors and artists
