Bound Booksellers, a woman-owned boutique bookstore offering a curated collection of books, gifts, and stationery, will host a grand opening celebration this coming Saturday, July 18, in its new location at 158 Front St., Suite 106, Franklin, Tenn., after 10 years in Westhaven, the Williamson County Source reported. The move was first announced in April.
The store did have to deal with a water line bursting at the new space earlier this month, causing some flooding. Although a soft opening was delayed by the water damage, "we have plenty of people helping us clean up, organize, and restock our new physical location in @thefactoryatfranklin. And the books we lost will be able to be replaced (which also means double royalties for the authors, since we had to buy them twice, so a slight silver lining?)," the bookshop posted on Instagram. The grand opening is still on schedule.
"I'm thrilled to be bringing Bound Booksellers to The Factory," said owner Sarah Brown. "I am passionate about engaging with our community and providing a welcoming, cozy space to gather. Our new location in such a vibrant, thriving space means we'll be able to reach even more readers than before!"
