Wild Meadows Books & Cafe held its soft opening recently at 27 Market St. in Williston, Vt., featuring books for all ages alongside local artwork, WCAX reported, adding that a cafe on-site will offer drinks and treats from Mirabelle's Bakery. A grand opening celebration is scheduled for July 11 and 12.
Owners Rick and Susan Cote, who also publish the Williston Observer, said, "There's a trend of people returning to physical books, and wanting to buy those physical books in a bookstore, and not online. I think that the community in Williston also wants a place to gather, and celebrate community."
After its soft opening, Wild Meadows posted on social media: "Dreams do come true. Wild Meadows Books & Café is now open! As we count down to our Grand Opening celebration... we're thrilled to invite you to come in and experience the magic. Step into our cozy haven, indulge in a cup of inspiration, and get lost in our shelves of wonder. Stay tuned for updates and details on our grand opening weekend and share your thoughts with us. Thank you for believing in us, and we can't wait to connect with you soon!"
