It's amazing to think that Vroman's has been in business since 1894... and even more sad to think it could be the coronavirus that ends that legacy. Vroman's put out the call for help this week, and it's a good reminder that local businesses are still hurting. It would be such a shame to lose Vroman's, and other long-standing legacy shops in Southern California. We've already lost so many. Their plea:
Friends, the past few months have been the most difficult in our company’s 126-year history and Vroman’s needs your help to stay open. Here's how you can support your local indie! Shop now for books, gifts, & gift cards w/ Vromans & encourage others to do the same. (Shop online w/ curbside pickup, call us to place an order, or ship it. Return to shop in our stores w/ our new health & safety measures in place.)
Shop in-store on weekday mornings, rather than busy weekends or afternoons. Shop EARLY before the Dec holiday crowds – stores will be far less crowded in Oct & Nov & shipping/book printing delays are expected. Our hours are currently 10:30am-6pm.
We also need your help to get the word out! Reach out to your friends & contacts. Save this shareable, use the hashtag #ShopVromans & post on your social media accounts. Don't forget to tag us!
We truly appreciate your support, during this critical time and for the past 126 years Red heartFolded handsBooks. Thank you so much and stay well! #ShopVromans #shoplocal #indiebookstore #vromans #independentbookstore
