Stacks Book Club is opening in Oro Valley as the first independent, locally-owned bookstore.

What began as a simple book club eventually lead to pop-up book events. Now, the owners have invested in designing and decorating a fully-fledged bookstore.

The owners say they felt like the cozy bookstore atmosphere was missing in Oro Valley.

"We are ecstatic we've been thinking about this idea almost 4 years now," Chrispin Jeffrey-Franco, co-owner of Stacks, said. "The construction process has been coming up on a year so we are really excited to have the doors open and get to see people enjoying this space and getting to do what we really set out to do here."

Stacks book club opens this Saturday and will be open every day from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. You can find the store at 1880 E Tangerine Rd., Suite 140, at Oro Valley Marketplace.
