It's a very exciting episode, because Amanda and Ellyn are joined by fellow indie bookstore owner Abbey Paxton. Abbey owns Storyhouse Bookpub, located in the East Village of Des Moines. Today Amanda, Ellyn, and Abbey chat about the indie bookstore industry, the good and bad parts of owning a indie bookstore, and the exciting things we have coming up for Indie Bookstore Day 2025.
Mark you calendars for the last weekend in April because the Central Iowa Indie Bookstore Day Passport is back! Visit all nine indie bookstores on the passport to celebrate and have the chance to win a $100 gift card to the last bookstore you visit.
