Hot take: The comic shop in my town went from empty to packed after they added a coffee bar

I walked into Main Street Comics last week and the place was full of people, maybe 20 of them just hanging out. Six months ago it was just the owner and maybe one other guy. The owner told me he put in a small coffee machine and some chairs, and now people come to read books and talk. Has anyone else seen a shop change like this just from adding something simple?

Yeah, that "social space" thing is key. My local record store put in a couple old couches and a cheap turntable for listening. Now people just hang out and talk music, buys way more stuff.

Sounds like they added a social space, not coffee.
