The Bookish Boutique: Literary Delight Unfolds in Downtown Panama City
PANAMA CITY, FL - Downtown Panama City welcomes a delightful newcomer to its streets with the grand unveiling of The Bookish Boutique, a spot for book enthusiasts masterminded by Jenny Kelley. Jenny is the proprietor of a flourishing screen printing company in Lynn Haven, observed a gap in the community and decided to embark on a creative venture, establishing a distinctive bookstore that caters to the literary yearnings of Bay County residents.
Inspiration Strikes: The genesis of The Bookish Boutique stems from Jenny’s screen printing business, where numerous customers expressed a desire for clothing and accessories tailored to their book clubs. Recognizing the scarcity of bookstores in the area, especially on their side of the bridge, she seized the opportunity when the perfect location became available in the rejuvenated Downtown Panama City.
A Rare Edition: The Bookish Boutique sets itself apart by not only offering new and used books but also by providing a platform for avid readers to sell their gently used books through a dedicated program. Beyond traditional book offerings, the boutique boasts a collection of book-themed apparel and accessories that were previously only available online, adding a touch of literary flair to everyday fashion.
Community-Centric Spaces: Understanding the importance of communal reading experiences, The Bookish Boutique features two comfortable sitting areas, perfect for book clubs to convene. Book clubs can reserve these spaces during regular business hours or, for a nominal $50 fee, have the entire bookstore to themselves after hours. This unique opportunity allows clubs to bring their favorite beverages and snacks, fostering an inviting and relaxed atmosphere for literary discussions.
Accessible Hours: The Bookish Boutique opens its doors Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm, providing ample opportunities for the community to explore this literary gem. Jenny and her staff have crafted a welcoming space where book enthusiasts can discover new reads, read local authors, engage in meaningful discussions, and embrace the joy of reading in a cozy environment.
An Invitation to Discover: Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to explore The Bookish Boutique, a rare and cherished addition to Downtown Panama City. With its curated selection of books and thematic accessories, the bookstore promises to become a beloved destination for Bay County's literary aficionados.
