Scrawl, Scribble & Smirch Bookhop: Meet Marie

Location: 536 5th Street Gustine, Ca 95322

Tell us a little bit about yourself and what inspired you to start your business!: 34 years I have wanted to own a bookstore. I am an author of Young Adult novels. I love the written word. After a family tragedy, I decided to bet on myself and open my bookstore. 85% of my items in my shop come from women owned businesses a lot are local to the central valley. I believe in giving back and building a community. Where you spend your money matters.

Tell us about your business offerings, who your business is for, and why you're so passionate about serving this client base!: My business is for the book dragons, people passionate about books and reading. I have something for everyone. I also carry hand crafted items. Vinyl records, collectibles and so much more.
