WORD Bookstore to Open Second Location in New Jersey
January 15, 2013
The owners behind WORD bookstore (a Brooklyn, NY-based establishment) plan to open a new location in Jersey City, NJ. The second store will have 2,500 square feet of space and café. They also plan to create a large section specifically for children's books. It is scheduled to open in summer 2013.
"The new store's inventory will be 'very similar' to the Brooklyn store but with an expanded kids section, owner Christine Onorati said. The café will also be used as an event space, allowing the Jersey City WORD to hold 'a thriving literary event calendar as we do in Brooklyn,' Onorati continued. 'I have very high hopes for this new store, and I'm excited to help foster the vibrant, literary, community-focused spirit of Jersey City.'"
