Little City Books, Hoboken, N.J., which opened on Independent Bookstore Day in 2015, is opening a second store in Hoboken this month, according to Patch.com. The second story will be about a mile north, in uptown Hoboken, and will be accessible through a new Bwe Kafe location. (Bwe Kafe is a popular local coffee shop.)
Little City Books co-owner Donna Garban told Patch that the new location will be 350 square feet and will have a mezzanine in back. There will be no seating in the store, but customers can sit in the coffee shop. "A town has to want a bookstore in order to have a bookstore," she added. "Lots of our customers are from uptown, and they're excited about the new store."
The original store, which has some 1,200 square feet of space, expanded into neighboring storefront in 2016, adding an 800-square-feet children's wing of books and educational toys.
