Post subject: Children Bookstore

Dear All, I have been thinking for sometimes to open a children(0-10 y. old) bookstore here in the city. Exactly, a Multilingual and Multicultural bookstore, with parenting section and toys. Most of the books wil be bilinguals and going to reflect modern society and cultures. Of course, English/Chinese books are going to occupy a lot of the shelves but there will be Europen and Asian languages books as well.
Most of the books and toys that I am talking about are mostly found in the internet and here, for what I research, there are very few of these kinds of books.
I would like to be a place where parents can come with their children and while they are looking for books kids can also play. Also reading hour and puppet/theatre I would like to include.

I have some experince working with kids and bookstore and I have done already some market research but I would like to have more opinions and also suggestions, in particular from parents.

Thank you.
