Sweet Reads Society, a romance-focused bookstore and bakery, opened last month in Newton Falls, Ohio, WKBN27 reported.
Located at 2010 Milton Blvd., Suite C1, Sweet Reads sells a variety of romance titles along with bookish gifts and accessories. The bakery side of the business focuses on stuffed cookies while also serving coffee and dirty sodas, which are sodas mixed with cream and other flavorings.
Co-owner Katie Butcher held a grand opening for the bookstore on March 28. She and her team have also held author signings and blind book roulettes, with book club meetings and other events coming later this month.
Before opening Sweet Reads Society, Butcher started out selling cookies at a farm stand last fall.
"We were just ready to expand, and I think we just really wanted to open up a bookstore in Newton Falls--I felt it was missing something," Butcher told WKBN27.
