Oliver & Friends Bookshop will open in its new home in Waterville, Maine, later this month, the Morning Sentinel reported.
Store owner Renee Cunningham, who founded Oliver & Friends in Belgrade Lakes, Maine, in 2020, is planning for a soft opening in Waterville on May 22. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place on May 24, followed by a grand-opening celebration May 25.
The new space is 985 square feet, up from 750 square feet, and is located at 150 Main St. in a building owned by nearby Colby College. Cunningham carries general-interest titles for all ages, along with greeting cards and a variety of gifts.
"I'm loving the vibe of this city," Cunningham told the Sentinel. "I'm absolutely looking forward to opening my doors. Waterville has been so welcoming. The energy is great here on Main St."
