| Ebenezer Books | |
Several residents of Johnson, Vt., in the northern part of the state, are seeking a bookstore for the town. As they wrote, "We've appreciated having an outstanding bookstore for 21 years. Sadly, the owner, Jennifer ("JJ") Indeliclae, is planning to close the doors of Ebenezer Books in mid-May. The store is in the heart of Johnson, well-loved, and an important anchor in our village. Its absence will be a great loss to our town and the surrounding towns who have relied on Ebenezer for a long time."
They note that while Indeliclae is not selling the business or inventory, "the beautiful antique building" is available for rent. Among other selling points for the location, residents say:
- Johnson is a destination! Hundreds of outdoor enthusiasts flock to Johnson for the Long Trail and the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, both of which go through our town. We are also known for outstanding day hiking, fishing, paddling and our proximity to Smugglers Notch, Jay Peak and Stowe.
- We are the home of the Vermont Studio Center, an internationally renowned residency program for artists and writers.
- Northern Vermont University is located a mile from the center of town.
- Route 15 runs through the center of Johnson and is the main east/west road across northern Vermont. The 68-mile main road brings 7,000-8,000 cars through town per day.
- The nearest booksellers are 25-60 minutes away.
- Johnson is experiencing growth--commercial, residential and tourist!
