Black Bond Books is expanding this month.
The bookstore is moving to a larger location near the food court in Royal City Centre, and the new location will include an expanded selection of books.
Longtime manager Lorraine Williams is looking forward to the move. After more than 25 years with Black Bond, she still loves the business and her customers, according to a press release.
"Having someone like Lorraine to find just the right book has been a key part of the success Black Bond has enjoyed in New West," Black Bond Books president Cathy Jesson said in the release. "We look forward to many more years of being the neighborhood bookstore in New Westminster."
The B.C.-owned company has had a presence in New Westminster since the 1980s, which was the third location of the growing family of bookstores. Black Bond is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The company has grown to 11 B.C. locations, including the Book Warehouse on Broadway in Vancouver. Part of the celebration is the relocation and expansion of its New Westminster store, according to the release.
