Am usually in favor of variety, but I’ll stay a Sherman’s shopper to reward them for years of YEAR ROUND, personal service for books and a great range of other amusements. I saw no mention in the story of the start-up’s intent or even hope to be a year-round resource. I did read “… especially in summer…”, and pretty much only summer people need more places to spend money in summer.
I was asked in the interview if I planned to be open year round and I said “Yes, if there is community demand. There might be more demand for the community space for events and talks.” Keep shopping at Sherman’s I plan to! I also said, “We love Sherman’s. I am not trying to compete with Sherman’s. I think there is room for more than one bookstore.”
Can’t wait for this to open! Happy to support Sherman’s AND a new bookstore where I can sit and linger.
Very Excited! What a beautiful space!
Another bookstore is always a welcome thing. And the fact that they can host events and whatnot (author talks?) is another perk.
