Curt (r.) and Debbie Finch, who have operated Emerald Isle Books & Toys, Emerald Isle, N.C., for 23 years, are closing that location and opening a new store, called North Hills Bookery, at North Hills shopping center on Six Forks Road in Raleigh. The Triangle Business Journal reported that the co-owners "are returning to their roots" and plan to open the new store next month.
According to the new shop's Facebook page, North Hills Bookery will be "a neighborhood gathering place for people who want to discover the stories that settle among our shelves full of books, toys, and odds and ends. Readers, dreamers, storytellers, bibliophiles come in. Children be ready to find a magical story and a friend to read it with. Parents and grandparents bring the little ones you love to create a memory. Tired from work, needing an escape; the North Hills Bookery will be full of places to retire from the hectic world into an adventure of printed words."
