The City of Leeds and Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce conducted a ribbon cutting on Monday, June 24th, at The Burrow Bookstore which just opened a few days ago. Mayor David Miller cut the ribbon with store owners, Andi and Josh Argo, the Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce, a host of Leeds area business owners, chamber board members, and representatives from Leeds Main Street.

Mayor Miller welcomed the new bookstore, “Wow, what a crowd! This is great! Welcome to Leeds Main Street and we are certainly happy to have you. You know, the main focus of this administration for the past 12 years is that education is the key and books are, of course, the cornerstone of education. We are really happy to see this downtown. We’ve needed something like this downtown for a long time so again, welcome and I think you'll do great!”

The Burrow Bookstore’s Andi Argo shared, “Thank you! We're so excited to be down here to finally be open. It's been a lot of work and I'm really proud of how it turned out!”

A large crowd of customers lined up early on the street during the ribbon cutting to be the first in the door for the bookstore’s grand opening festivities. The Argo’s had a full line-up of activities scheduled throughout the day for their grand opening celebration including Suga Mamas Bakery Cookies, Belle from Beauty & the Beast to visit, goody bags for first customers and coupons for future purchases.

The Burrow Bookstore is located at 8139 Parkway Drive in historic downtown Leeds. For more information about this new retailer, please visit their Facebook page.
