| Toadstool's store in Milford will be moving next month. | |
The Toadstool Bookshops, which has stores in Keene, Peterborough and Milford, N.H., is moving its Milford store to a larger location in Nashua in October. The Milford store, opened in 1989, will close soon, and its café has already closed. Nashua is about 10 miles southeast of Milford and with a population of 90,000 is the second largest city in New England north of Boston.
In an announcement to customers, Toadstool noted that the new space in Nashua, in the Somerset Plaza on Route 101A, "will have space for more books and for you to browse in a roomier, more comfortable environment. We can't wait to invite you in!" It added that over the past 30 years in Milford, it has "seen a generation of readers grow up. We are very grateful for all the support you have given us over the years and can only hope you will enjoy visiting us in the new location."
Among many other things, Toadstool is known for having started Cider Monday in 2013, which owner Willard Williams saw as a local, homey, bricks-and-mortar response to Cyber Monday, the frenetic online shopping occasion on the Monday after Thanksgiving. The holiday is celebrated by a range of booksellers and other retailers.
