Papercuts Books is expected to open by the end of March in Unit 100 at 200 Market St., Wilmington, N.C. In addition to new and used titles, "the offerings will include jewelry and other gifts, including some toys and games. The store will also sell sets that pair books with gifts," Wilmington Buzz reported.
"I was part of a family business [Bulk Power LLC] before this and we sold at the end of 2020... so I was looking for something new to do," said owner Holly Bader. "We happened upon the perfect spot in downtown Wilmington and just decided to go for it." She added that working in a family business helped teach her how to run one, and books are a lifelong love. "I've been a huge reader my whole life."
Bader added that the space and location were the perfect place for her store "because it's right in the middle of where everything starts basically downtown. We're close to great stores and restaurants."
