Business of the Week

This week’s Lancaster by the Bay Chamber Business of the Week is Bookshelf on Church!

 

What began as a pop-up in The Local in 2022 is now a vibrant brick-and-mortar indie bookstore in the heart of Kilmarnock, officially opened on Church Street in May 2024. Bookshelf on Church is the only independent bookstore in the Northern Neck, offering a curated selection of new books for all ages, games, writing accessories, and thoughtful gifts.

 

More than a bookstore, it's a gathering place for locals and visitors to connect through a shared love of reading. From author talks to game nights, their Summer Virginia Author Series kicks off June 27 with Audrey Ingram and her new novel The Summer We Ran. Tickets and the full event calendar are available on their website.

 

Bookshelf on Church—where stories come to life and community comes together.

Finding the Ideal Business Collaboration If you’re a small- to medium-sized business that is trying to carve out a place for itself in a competitive market, you want to differentiate yourself from the competition. One way to do that is to offer something no one else is doing. You can create a new product or service or go after an untapped market. But if you’ve already tried all of those and you’re looking for something else, it’s time to find the peanut butter to your chocolate or the peas to your carrots.
