Subterranean Books in St. Louis, Mo., is moving to a new, larger space after 20 years in its previous location. The bookstore will be closed this Friday for the move and open on Saturday for pick-up only. By Sunday, the store will be open for regular business in its new home.
The new space, located just two doors down the street, is more than double the size of its current home. The extra space will allow Subterranean Books to "properly staff ourselves in the age of Covid."
The team will be able to let in more shoppers while making sure all safety precautions are being met, and they can expand all of their existing book sections. They will continue to offer curbside pick-up, shipping, and web and phone orders in addition to browsing.
Eventually, once the store gets "to the other side of this crazy year," they'll throw "one heck of a party" to celebrate the move and the store's 21st birthday.
