Mockingbird Books will host its grand opening celebration this Saturday, August 2, at 24210 Westheimer Parkway in Katy, Tex. KPRC reported that the bookshop, owned by Stephanie Pitcock and Julie Foster, is "already stealing hearts one page at a time. With its warm atmosphere, thoughtfully curated shelves, and love for all things literary, this cozy shop is more than just a bookstore--it's a little haven for readers, dreamers, and bookworms of all ages."
With a goal of providing a space for community to bond over books in an inviting atmosphere, Pitcock and Foster offer new books and a small selection of used titles. Mockingbird Books serves coffee, wine, and snacks and a variety of gift items.
"Our vision was to make it all about community, and to have them come, talk about books, meet new friends," Pitcock told KPRC.
When the new bookstore held its soft opening on July 17, the owners posted: "This started as a dream scribbled in notebooks and talked about late at night... and now, it’s real!! Mockingbird Books is finally here, and we can’t wait to welcome you into something we’ve poured our hearts into! Come see us. WE ARE OPEN! This could not have been accomplished without all the support behind the scenes: our designer who nailed it, friends & family helping with kids, friends volunteering hours at the store, friends helping with social media. You all helped this dream become a reality! The support we have received has been amazing and we want to shout from the rooftop: THANK YOU."
