Blush Bookstore, a romance bookstore that debuted in Wichita, Kan., in 2023, opened a second location this weekend in Dallas, Tex., CultureMap Dallas reported.
Located at 432 W. Eighth St. in the city's Bishop Arts District, the bookstore carries a variety of romance sub-genres including contemporary, fantasy, YA, and dark romance. Its nonbook offerings include apparel, candles, notebooks, and more.
A grand opening celebration over the weekend featured store-themed coffee drinks made by a local cafe, mocktails from a neighborhood bar, and a build-a-bouquet available from a local florist.
Owner Jaclyn Wooden decided to open a location in Dallas after hosting an event there in 2023 and seeing the potential for a romance store in that market.
