Transition
For over three years we have been fortunate to serve book lovers in the Blacksburg area. Despite our best efforts we have not been able to sustain this addition to Blacksburg’s Great Good Place. Now we will refocus our energies on providing craft roasted coffee prepared by the most skilled roasters and baristas in the New River Valley. We will continue to provide a community center where people will gather with friends, share big ideas and make Blacksburg a better place.
All of us at the Easy Chair would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the management of University Mall, without whom the move from downtown would not have been possible. Their support, encouragement and guidance gave us our best chance to succeed.
Thank you to all of our registered book clubs, bibliophiles, Story Time participants and local authors. The inspiration for the Easy Chair Bookstore grew out of a belief that a reading culture still exists in Blacksburg and I regret deeply that we could not carry on for these most important customers.
To our tireless booksellers and baristas who persevered, put in extra hours and exhausted every possible effort to sustain this idea, you make me believe it was all worth it. I look forward with new energy to applying what we have learned as we work together to improve and grow the Easy Chair Coffee Shop into Blacksburg’s best.
