Copperfield's Books, which has five stores in Napa and Sonoma counties,
north of San Francisco, is buying Toyon Books in Healdsburg and will
open the store as a Copperfield's on July 1.
Toyon Books has been owned by Martha Dwyer since 1986. She is retiring and moving to British Columbia to develop a small coastal farm with her husband.
"We have been big fans of Toyon and all that Martha has done over the years, and we were very excited when offered this opportunity," Tom Montan, CEO of Copperfield's, said in a statement. "We will be able to add to the great work that has been done and infuse this store with a larger and deeper selection of books and gifts."
Some of Toyon's employees will stay to work for Copperfield's Books. In connection with the purchase, Katie Thompson has been promoted from assistant manager of Copperfield's store in Sebastopol to manage the new Healdsburg Copperfield's.
The Copperfield's in Healdsburg will be open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. The store is located at 104 Matheson in Healdsburg Plaza, Healdsburg, Calif. 95448; 707-433-9270; copperfields.net.
