How Tubby & Coo’s Became a Traveling Book Shop
By Zoe Perzo
In the last few months, Tubby & Coo’s, a New Orleans queer-owned store, has transitioned from a brick-and-mortar location to a traveling book shop. I caught up with owner Candice Huber to learn more about the transition and their plans for the future.
The first thing Huber told me was that they don’t follow a traditional pop-up model. Instead, Huber compared managing Tubby & Coo’s Traveling Book Shop to event management. Each appearance is intentional and designed to replicate the feeling of being in a bookstore.
