ADRIAN — Now in a new location, Tropetastic Books and Gifts is open and ready to serve customers looking for used books and related gift items.
The shop has moved to a new location at 112 W. Maumee St. in downtown Adrian.
Tropetastic Books and Gifts, which was previously located inside Rad Raptor Comics on North Main Street, moved to its new location on Nov. 16. The new storefront is between Musgrove + Co. and The Brick Wall Pub & Grill.
Owner Julie Maurer said she made the move to West Maumee because she likes the location next to the coffee shop. She also liked the idea of being closer to the heart of downtown Adrian.
“I wanted to be closer, in the heart of downtown, for all the events,” Maurer said.
She said First Fridays and other events were good for business, but she saw potential for more traffic in being closer to the center of downtown.
Tropetastic carries used, or “pre-loved” books, as well as gifts. Maurer shops in thrift stores and online to find the books she carries. She will also buy books from individuals, and will consider books that are no more than 10 years old.
Maurer said the average price for a book is around $7.99. Children’s picture books are always $1. Gifts, such as bookmarks, pencils, coffee cups, tea and journals are also for sale.
Maurer is working to establish permanent hours for the store. Up-to-date information can be found on the store’s Facebook page.
