The Story Book Emporium and Bookshop is expected to open along Hwy. 79 in Hutto.
The setup
The business, owned by Ash O’Rourke, will be the city’s only book store when it opens. Along with curated book selections, the store will host a variety of events, writing workshops and support local creatives. It will also feature a coffee shop and wine and beer bar.
“We’ll be focused on highlighting local and independent authors whenever we can [and] we’re going to carry artwork from local and independent artists as much as we can,” O’Rourke said.
