The Plot Twist Hosts Grand Opening in Denton, Tex.

The Plot Twist, a romance bookstore and bar, held a grand opening celebration earlier this month in Denton, Tex., Hoodline reported.

Co-owners and mother-daughter team Dawn Conner and Darci Middleton founded the Plot Twist as a pop-up shop in July 2024, per the Denton Record-Chronicle. In November they moved to a bricks-and-mortar space at 227 W. Oak St. #101, and on January 18 hosted the store's official grand opening. The event was a success, with Conner and Middleton selling out of their inventory of local authors.

The store carries a diverse selection of romance novels spanning plenty of sub-genres, while the bar serves coffee, tea, mocktails, a variety of alcoholic beverages, and drinks inspired by romance novels. The store's events include book clubs as well as bookbinding classes, tarot reading workshops, and writing courses.

Dawn Conner told the Denton Record-Chronicle: "We are a bookstore that happens to have a bar in it. We're not a bar that sells books. Our focus is on putting the authors out here that people want to see, and supporting those local authors."
