Just in case you haven't heard...

There are a few new developments happening over at Northgate Mall, 1058 W. Club Blvd, that you might want to know about. For starters, Northgate Books, located inside entrance two across from the movie theater, opened a couple of months ago but owner Steve Elliot will host a grand opening event on Saturday, July 10. Elliot also plans to open The Sweet Tea Cafe, offering pastries, sandwiches, soups and sweet tea, later this summer or early fall where Blue Coffee Too used to be. Cute as a Button selling baby clothes and accessories is open near the food court, EZ Records, specializing in urban music, films and apparel, is open near Hibbett Sports and the restaurant Tomo Japan will open later this month.

Books back at Northgate as Raleigh biz owner opens second shop The N&O noted this morning the arrival of a new bookstore at Northgate Mall, whose initial presumed (based on architectural renderings) hopes to draw in a megastore of the Borders or B&N variety faded with the outdoor plaza renovation and the recession -- and which lost Waldenbooks a few months ago.

And keeping with the mall's theme of late, it's a locally-owned business to boot.

Falls River Books, a Raleigh business that earns rave reviews in online fora, is opening its second regional store at Northgate. The owner, Steven Elliot, also has a South Florida location.

Per the N&O's Sue Stock:

The store will be larger than the Falls River store, Elliot said, but the idea will remain the same: mostly used books sold for at least half off the cover price, with some books starting at $1. There will be some new books scattered in, and the store will also take trades.

Success in the used books business is really about relationships with people, Elliot said.

Look for a late spring or early summer debut. See the original article here
