Volumes Bookcafe update: the bookstore and café in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago should open within three weeks, co-owner Rebecca George told Chicagoist. She and her co-owner (and sister) Kimberly are waiting for the city to complete inspections.
Volumes is hiring booksellers and baristas and is aiming for a 95%-5% mix of new to used books, a slight change from an earlier 90%-10% goal. The store has 2,800 square feet of space.
