Lala's bookstore and café will be opening at 140 6th Ave, Ashville, Ala. Bama Buzz reported that co-owners Heather Warren and Holli Smith "have been dreaming of opening a space like this for a while now.... The team behind Lala's has been working hard on transforming the space into a welcoming, warm community hub, and they're close to opening. Stay tuned for the official opening date."
In a Facebook post earlier this year, the owners wrote: "We can't wait to finish renovating our location on the square so we can welcome you to Lala's! Our Story: Lala’s is a dream come true for co-owners Heather Warren and Holli Smith, or the Webb Sisters as they're commonly referred to around their hometown of Ashville. Both high school teachers who hope to retire one day, they have always believed they could combine their love of reading, eating, wine tasting, and gathering together with friends into a business for their retirement years. When the opportunity to purchase a building in downtown Ashville presented itself, they jumped at the chance! With a lot of love, sacrifice, and manual labor (mostly from Holli's husband Merrell), Lala's will be the perfect place to grab some lunch, caffeinate midday, relax after work, or come pick up the latest book recommendation. Join us for trivia nights, wine and beer tastings, book clubs, or let us host your private event."
