Bub's Bookstore, Carson City, Nev., Hosts Grand Opening

Bub's Bookstore in progress.

Bub's Bookstore held a grand opening celebration Friday in Carson City, Nev., Carson Now reported. The all-ages bookstore is located at 110 S. Curry St. in downtown Carson City and sells general-interest titles, with an emphasis on local authors, northern Nevada history, and outdoor recreation. 

Owners Rob Fuller and Demi Pettway celebrated the opening with a ribbon cutting, followed by a day of author appearances, book signings, giveaways, live music, and food trucks.

Pettway and Fuller hope to create a third place for the Carson City community, and they plan to host plenty of events and create partnerships with a variety of local organizations. To help open the bookstore, they launched a GoFundMe campaign that has raised $3,400 toward its goal of $4,000.

"There's no real third spaces in Carson," Fuller told Carson Now in April, shortly after he and Pettway started renovating the space. "People want to have a place where they don't feel pressured to buy something or get a drink or go somewhere just to eat or whatever--they can just kind of hang out and exist. So we ran with it."
