Seven years after Shanghai's first 24-hour bookstore closed, another company is hoping to tempt book lovers with the prospect of overnight shopping. A privately owned bookstore that shut down earlier this year, re-opened on Fuzhou Road last week, and will stay open around the clock.
The store will sell more than just books, with a seperate area for tea and coffee as well as a crafts shop where artisans can sell their goods. The store's manager says they want to create a cultural experience, as well as giving night owls a place to buy books -- as most other bookstores in the city close at 9pm.
Tan Jiajia, bookstore manager, said, "I think it's a good idea. The city's subway system closes too early, but sometimes I have to work until late at night. A bookstore with tea and coffee inside is a good idea."
Shen Yibin, designer, said, "I'm here today to see the environment, and would consider cooperating with the store to promote products designed by myself."
But there are few other places open late at night on Fuzhou Road, aside from a handful of fast-food restaurants.
Dong Chenxu, assistant gm, Shanghai Popular Bookmall, said, "We also accept homeless people unless they really do something disturbing the public order, then we will try to persuade them to leave. After all, the bookstore is for the general public, and the environment for reading is free."
To attract more people, the bookstore says scholars and authors will be invited to give regular lectures in the evening. And the store is ready to suffer losses for the first two months, as the idea of buying books in the wee hours of the morning is still new to most people.
Dong Chenxu said, "We don't expect sales volume during the night to match daytime levels. But we believe that in the long term, it's still good for the development of bookstores, where you can walk in and touch the products. "
Just a few years ago the city was home to nearly 4,000 bookstores. But nearly half of them have shut down because of increasing rents and salaries. They have also been hit hard by competition from online bookstores. The city's press and publication bureau announced at the end of last month that it will provide 15 million yuan a year in subsidies to support bookstores, and this one on Fuzhou Road has already submitted an application for some of that money.
