Travel Bug Coffee Shop, a bookstore and cafe in Sante Fe, N.Mex., that specializes in maps and books for travellers, will add a brewery to its operations this summer. Travel Bug Bookstore and Brewery will keep the maps, books, coffee and baked goods and also feature a brewery and taproom.
Travel Bug co-owner Eric Moffat, meanwhile, is stepping away from the business, with Greg Ohlsen set to become sole owner. Moffat reported that he is leaving to pursue other endeavors, but will remain for a little while longer to ensure a smooth transition.
The bookstore is undergoing renovations to accommodate the new facet of the business, with book sections being condensed and moved, counters being resurfaced and machines moved.
"Greg is now at the helm," wrote Moffat. "He is persevering, he is committed and he is adept. I have no doubt he will succeed."
