The Book Nook & Java Shop, Montague, Mich., hosted its grand opening last Thursday, the White Lake Beacon reported, noting that Bryan Uecker and Mark Murr originally "purchased the old Todd Pharmacy building, 8744 Ferry St., with plans to expand their space and menu, including adding a wine bar."
The owners also "wanted to incorporate many materials already in the space into the new design and also include historical pieces from the area," the Beacon wrote. Among those items ware a 20-foot bar in the space where the pharmacy counter was, bookshelves from pieces of wood in the ceiling, church pews, an old piano and the front door from an old school.
"There is a lot of history built into this place," Murr said.
