Maggie Mae's Kids Bookshop in Gresham, Ore., is moving to a new location that is more than triple the size of the original, the Outlook reported.
Owner Shoshonna Roberts will take the store from an 800-square-foot space at 43 N.W. Third St., where the store opened in 2018, to a 3,000-square-foot space at 50 N.W. First St. The new space is only about two blocks away from the old, and Roberts expects officially to open the doors in January 2023.
The extra space will allow Roberts to expand all parts of the store's inventory, particularly young adult and teen books, as well as gifts and toys. The bookstore will also be able to host larger events, and Robert plans to have community rooms available for rent. And while the new space won't officially open until January, there will be a holiday pop-up event there before the end of the year.
"We are moving so we can continue to grow and become Gresham's top spot for books and gifts," Roberts told Outlook.
