Meadow Market Books hosted a soft opening over the weekend at 1514 E. 15th St. in Tulsa, Okla., with an official launch anticipated at the end of January, Tulsa People reported, adding that the shop features popular fiction and works by local authors, children's titles, used books, art, notebooks, and more.
Co-owners Melodie and Jared Coulter share the bookshop's origin story on the Meadow Market Books website, noting, in part: "In 2020, a librarian and a post man fell in love. They shared book recommendations, marveled over excellent audiobook productions, and delighted in the way their personal book collections melded together to fill their lives with wonderful stories. They bonded over Indie Bookstore Day, spent nights at bookstore sleepovers, and committed to each other as life partners in a bookstore wedding officiated by their bookstore owner friend.
"Just before their wedding, Melodie and Jared Coulter revived an old idea to open their own bookstore. Plans were made, things were purchased, and that dream sat patiently for a year and a half.... The waiting has paid off, and Meadow Market opens its doors in January 2026. We cannot wait to show you what we've been drafting."
