Reminder: Tomorrow is the Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting for Roberts’ Reads!

We are excited to welcome our newest Tug Valley Chamber of Commerce member Roberts’ Reads! 📚🎉🥳

📚Roberts’ Reads is a new, locally owned bookstore owned and operated by Marissa Roberts and Felicia Roberts. The shop is located at 📍201 Logan Street, Williamson, WV. (former location of the Friendly Barbershop for many years)

✂️🎉Join us on Saturday, September 12th at noon as we help them celebrate their Grand Opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony. 🎉🎈

The owners explained, “We are a women-owned business and will have a wide selection of new books in a variety of genres, along with a smaller selection of used and pre-loved books. We will also carry fun book-related merchandise and gifts, including bookmarks, stickers, candles, totes, cups, handmade items and more. If we don’t have the book someone is looking for, we are also able to order books for our customers.

One of the things we are really looking forward to is making Roberts Reads’ more than just a place to buy books. As we get established, we would love to host book clubs, author visits, book signings and other events that bring readers and the community together.”

✅Be sure to follow their FB page for updates!

Thank you to Roberts Reads’ for your investment in the TVCC and our region!
