The Atlas Collective (TAC) bookstore and coffee bar will celebrate its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 6, at 1801 Fifth Ave., Moline.
“The Atlas Collective is my passion project, and I am so excited to see it come to fruition,” said Kara Taghon, founder, CEO and leader of the Atlas Collective team. “TAC offers a cozy, safe, joyful place where people of all walks of life can gather and grow.”
The Atlas Collective offers a “third space” gathering place – one that is not your home or workplace, but rather a social surrounding that gives a sense of place. The Atlas Collective’s inclusive, stress-free atmosphere is ideal for reading, gathering with friends and enjoying coffee, tea, or an energy drink. Bring your own book or shop the Collective’s wide variety of new and used books spanning all genres, Ms. Taghon added.
The Atlas Collective team includes Elijah Israel, whose title is caffeine overlord and purveyor of all things caffeinated, and Brooke Matheis, creative director for the collective’s marketing materials, social media and in-house stationery design.
Business hours for the Atlas Collective are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday; and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays (the coffee bar closes at 3 p.m. daily). TAC is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
