Celebrating 25 Years of PB Shop: A Quarter Century of Inspiring Curious Minds

This February, PB Shop is thrilled to mark 25 years in business. From our earliest days to becoming a trusted destination for book lovers, this milestone is a celebration of resilience, passion, and the unwavering joy of sharing stories.

Over the past quarter of a century, the world of bookselling has changed dramatically—and PB Shop has grown right along with it. One of our proudest achievements was successfully becoming a fully virtual bookseller, allowing us to reach readers far and wide while maintaining our personal touch and deep love for books. Navigating this transformation wasn’t without its challenges, but our commitment to readers and the joy of discovering the perfect book has always guided us.

We’re also proud to be an employee-owned trust (EOT). This means that every member of our team plays a vital role in shaping the shop’s future, sharing in its successes, and ensuring that our readers continue to enjoy an exceptional experience. Being an EOT reflects our belief in collaboration and community—values that have been central to PB Shop since the beginning.

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of visiting book fairs across the globe, connecting with authors, publishers, and fellow book enthusiasts. These events have inspired us, broadened our horizons, and deepened our commitment to curating a diverse selection of books for our customers.

Our dedication to championing creativity and the literary arts has led us to regularly sponsor awards and festivals, supporting voices that deserve to be heard and stories that deserve to be told. We believe that books have the power to inspire, educate, and entertain, and we are honoured to play a part in fostering a thriving creative community.

As we look back on the last 25 years, we’re filled with gratitude for our incredible customers, whose love for books keeps us going. We’re excited to continue this journey, sharing even more stories and surprises in the years ahead.

Thank you for being part of our story. Here’s to the next chapter!
