"When we told our SCORE mentor Hooper Wesley about our concept, he said 'What a great idea, this could work!' It really encouraged us. He was with us every step of the way. He even went to meetings with us at the bank," says Karen.
Today, Ellen, Jackie and Karen are proud of their growing business. "An independent bookstore puts money back into the community .. it instills a sense of ownership in our customers."
