After a little more than a year in business, Paper Moon in Troy, N.Y., is relocating to a new, larger space, the Times-Union reported.
Paper Moon, which debuted in March 2024, will reopen in its new space at 6 Brunswick Rd. on Saturday, June 14, and owner Joshua Gruft has a grand opening party scheduled for Friday, June 27. The new location is 350 square feet, up from 150 square feet at its original home.
Gruft noted that when he first opened Paper Moon, he carried only his magazine, Hypersaturation, and Castle Jackal, a magazine published by a friend. As he added more magazines and books from local publishers and authors, he outgrew the small space.
In the new location, Paper Moon will offer a larger selection of books, magazines, and local artwork. Gruft plans to focus less on hosting live music and instead host more author readings, poetry events, and magazine release parties. He also has an online shop in the works.
He told the Times-Union: "I hope to continue to be the spot where you can find something you didn't know you were looking for."
