Meet Cute Midland, a romance bookstore and gift store, opened earlier this month in Midland, Tex., YourBasin reported.
The bookstore, located in the Micro Market at 201 West Wall St., carries an assortment of romance titles representing a wide variety of sub-genres, along with nonbook items like candles, stationery, bath soaks, and spa headbands, and offers a monthly subscription program. Meet Cute is open Tuesdays through Saturdays.
Sisters Amanda Wilson and Megan Dixon opened the bookstore with their mother, Terri Matthews. All three are lifelong readers, and they managed to get the bookstore up and running in just 42 days.
"We want to be that for everyone in the community, a place that you can just come in and be you... it doesn't really matter what you like to read or what your favorite book or category is, we all love reading," Wilson told YourBasin. "It's just an exciting experience to be able to share that love with everybody and be somewhere where you could just foster that love and passion and come in, read your favorite book, sit down a while, hang out, really just get to know other people who love the same thing that you do."
Meet Cute Midland is the second romance bookstore to open in Midland this year. Love Affair Bookstore opened in July.
