Turning the Page: Schuler Books in Okemos Is Moving, But Not Far
Schuler Books is preparing to move from its current location in Okemos' Meridian Mall, but it's not going far.
The Michigan-based bookseller is taking over the space formerly occupied by Bed, Bath & Beyond - just across the hall.

The bookstore's move is officially set to begin in January 2025, although no date has yet been projected for opening the new space to customers.
"Due to the unpredictable nature of construction schedules and inspections, we do not yet have dates to communicate, but we will be keeping our customers informed through social media, our email newsletter, and on our website," says Elizabeth Bosscher, Marketing Manager for Schuler Books.
Bosscher says the move to the old Bed, Bath & Beyond location will afford Schuler Books "a larger space allowing for expansion of the bookstore and café, and the addition of a dedicated event space." The current location is expected to remain open until the new space - about 25% bigger - is ready to serve customers.
Founded in 1982 and based in West Michigan, Schuler Books currently operates bookstores in Grand Rapids, Okemos, Ann Arbor and West Bloomfield.
