Book Nerd had its grand opening in early October at the Castle Hills Market on 2211 NW Military Hwy, #118, in Castle Hills, Tex. KENS reported that "the area's first bookstore in over two decades.... is full of curated new and unique books that span all genres such as science fiction, horror, romance and fantasy, plus bookish goods that come from other small businesses. There's also a children's play corner and an event center in the back of the store." Co-owners Lauren and Sean Richmond said their bookstore is dedicated to providing a welcoming space that's deeply rooted in local connections and a shared love of reading.
In an Instagram post after the grand opening, Lauren Richmond wrote: "Never in our wildest dreams did we think 1,000 people would walk through Book Nerd's doors during our preview and Grand Opening weekend. Sean & I are beyond grateful to the community for supporting Book Nerd!
"Our little bookstore would absolutely not exist without the support and volunteer hours of our friends and family! From cheering us on a year ago when we committed to opening Book Nerd, watching our dog while we spent countless hours at the store, to stickering and shelving books up to the night before we opened. We are overwhelmed with gratitude to each of you. Thank you again to everyone who has walked through our doors, and if you haven't made it by yet, we are excited to have you."
