New Independent Bookstore To Open In Phoenixville

PHOENIXVILLE, PA — Great news for local book lovers: you'll have another spot besides the public library to get your fill of books.

A new bookstore is opening soon on Bridge Street.

Reads and Company Bookshop describes itself as a "a community-minded independent bookstore and more."

A precise opening date has not been announced, but the store plans to open at some point this spring, likely in mid-April.

"(The bookshop) will feature an extensive, carefully curated selection of new and noteworthy books, a vibrant children’s section, fabulous gift ideas, engaging literary events and programs, and so much more," local author and founder Robb Cadigan said.

The store will feature wood bookcases from Greetings and Readings in Baltimore, which recently shut down after nearly 50 years.

Local businesses are excited about the new opening.

"Phoenixville just keeps getting better," Steel City Coffeehouse wrote, sharing the news.

It will be located on 234 Bridge Street, across the street from the Colonial Theatre.
