What’s Moving into This Empty Store in Downtown Cedar Falls?

It's been a very good year for one new Cedar Falls business.

In November of last year, a new bookstore opened for business in Downtown Cedar Falls. The Nook, located at 216 Main Street has become a must-visit when dropping into the Cedar Valley.

This independent bookstore specializes in new books, but they do have a small used section up at the front of their shop.

You can pick up adult, young adult, and children's books as well as candles, greeting cards, stickers, etc.

The owners of the shop announced that they would be expanding their bookshop very soon!

This new project will be located right next door to their current location.

Owners Abby and Brandon shared that the new location would provide more room for bookshelves, expanded genres, and seating.

At the front of this space will be a coffee bar that will serve up coffee drinks, refreshers, and baked goods from local bakeries.

"We’re super excited to bring a bookish themed coffee bar to Cedar Falls Main Street," one of the owners said.

The team behind the Nook confirmed that the new space will be called Reader's Cup.

"We’re hoping it’ll be a go to place for readers to gather and chat about books!"

While there is no exact opening date on the calendar, the owners did confirm that they plan to have their grand opening sometime in September or October!
