Response has been so positive to a holiday pop-up second location opened in October by Liberty Bay Books, Poulsbo, Wash., that owner Suzanne Droppert "is responding to customer feedback in a great way: the pop-up location of her bookstore is sticking around in Bremerton," the Patriot reported.
"The goal was to see if it could do good business in November and December," Droppert said. "We kept hearing the feedback of all the customers. Everyone asked us to stay, everyone that came in said, 'Please stay.' "
Staff member Kate Daniels agreed: "A lot of people come in just to say that they're glad to have us here, and that they're spreading the word."
Droppert noted that the new location will soon be arranging "book clubs, coloring events, local author events," adding: "We wanted to get through the holidays.... We're trying to have a little bit of everything that's (in Poulsbo)."
