Four months ago, the company posted on LinkedIn that it had secured a lease across the street from Colorado State University. It is a 1,730-square-foot space owned by Nicol Campus West, LLC, records show.

The boozy bookshop will have cocktails and light snacks behind a secret bookcase entrance, and live music events. Its theme is the 1920s and 30s, a nod to prohibition, the jazz era, and The Great Gatsby. 

Sanders has had a storied history in literature, working in many capacities over the years as a content writer, adjunct professor, book reviewer, student librarian, and bookstore manager. She is excited to bring this concept to the community.
