Bookstores Are Evolving, Says Providence's Riffraff Bookstore-Bar Owner on LIVE

Emma Ramadan with Riffraff bookstore-bar in Providence spoke to how bookstores are "evolving" around the country, when she appeared on "RI Small Biz Fuel" LIVE with GoLocal CEO Josh Fenton on Monday. 

"There are a couple of other bookstore-bars in the country," said Ramadan. "In late 2016 I was up on in the Hudson Valley -- at the Spotty Dog -- and [realized] my whole life was to open bookstore bar."

"Bookstores are evolving -- and to keep up with online, and Amazon, bookstores have to find a new way to evolve, and this trend of bookstore-bars has been cropping up the past few years," added Ramadan.
