Spellbound Children's Bookshop, Asheville, N.C., is moving from Wall Street to a new location it will share with the ZaPOW! comic book shop and art gallery at 21 Battery Park Avenue. On its website, Spellbound, which will reopen February 1, described the change as "more than just a simple move" because, unlike its previous relationship with Alisha Silver Photography, "the two businesses are more directly complementary, the integration will be more seamless, and we will be in a larger, brighter space that will be more accommodating for in-store events of all sizes."
Explaining the reasons for the move, Spellbound's owners cited "a lot more foot (and vehicle) traffic on Battery Park. We were offered a chance to move to a better location that will actually cost us less, so we jumped at it! Also, the folks at ZaPOW! are fabulous and we think that this partnership will be very positive for both our businesses and, most importantly, for our customers."
