Following a soft opening on March 5, Flourish & Fiction in Woodstock, N.B., will host a grand opening tomorrow, March 21, the River Valley Sun reported.
Located at 617 Main St., Unit C, in downtown Woodstock, Flourish & Fiction sells general-interest titles, with both new and used books available. Owner Kiersten Kearney will host the store's first author event in April and plans to add book clubs and writing workshops in the months ahead.
Kearney told the River Valley Sun that she decided to open a bookstore following a trip to Kansas City to meet some online friends she'd gotten to know during the pandemic. Just two weeks after returning home she applied to the Business Fundamentals program at New Brunswick Community College.
"Getting to this point has been insanely fast, but also feels like it took forever," Kearney said.
