Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive feasibility study for the establishment of a Book Nook Cafe, an innovative hybrid business concept that merges the specialty coffeehouse experience with a curated independent bookstore. Positioned at the intersection of two resurgent industries, this study examines market demand, financial viability, technological integration, operational logistics, and competitive differentiation. Drawing on quantitative market projections, consumer behaviour literature, and the Lean Canvas business modelling framework, the research demonstrates that the Book Nook Cafe concept is commercially viable, culturally relevant, and scalable.
