DETAIL
SETUP

Bookmans is a Tucson institution - a huge used-book, music, and media exchange. The Speedway store has space for sizable gatherings, provides tables and chairs, and the staff are real partners when it comes to promoting and hosting events. Hosting rate is around $25 an hour.

Why it's on my list

Noor Founder, Gather and Glow

“Very open to collaborating - they post on their Instagram stories, and they provide tables and chairs so I do not have to haul my own. They comfortably fit about 30 and are willing to stretch a little more, and they are happy to have a vendor on site as long as it stays indoors (a coffee cart worked great). Rate is around $25 an hour.”
