at 8th Street Market

Rachel and Monica started Two Friends Bookstore as just a pop up in 2018 and then moved into their cozy space over on 7th Street. Now they have a new larger home over at 8th Street Market. Salt Group had the opportunity to work with Rachel and Monica to take a much larger cold space and turn it into their warm bookstore and coffee shop. Working with a small budget we were able to reuse many pieces from their existing space and the previous restaurant that was in the new 8th Street Market space. From repurposed countertops, lighting, woodwork, old signs, bookshelves and outdoor benches we were able to save, modify and reuse as much as possible. With some great teamwork from many subcontractors we were able to transform the space into Rachel and Monica’s bookstore vision.
