Mindy & Jess Bookstore, which has been well known among bookworms for about four years, is located in a thriving new neighborhood in the northern part of Kaohsiung City. It aims to be a community booktore. The establishment used to be a large sports club, which was then rebuilt into a three-floor venue. The basement has general books, while the first floor contains a diverse selection of magazines. Adjacent there is a computer store and a vegetarian eatery. The second floor sells stationery. Discounts are available pretty much all the time. The boss, who's a native of Kaohsiung, runs Mindy & Jess as a wholesale business. So, like Carrefour, it offers wholesale prices directly to retail customers. Mindy & Jess also incorporates the online Jess Bookstore, and will soon open two more branches in Kaohsiung, on SanDuo Road and YangMing Road.
