Move to Kerkstraat 132 accomplished!
Kerkstraat 119 no longer Lambiek's closet
|
Dear Lambiek friends,
With the help of a dozen close friends and one English tourist, Lambiek has moved the comicstore last weekend to its new spot on Kerkstraat 132. Although it's not even half of our stock, the place reminds us already of the glorious old store at # 78. In the next weeks to come, we will concentrate on the gallery, where there's still lots to be done. At the end of January 2005 we will reopen with a smashing New Year's Party. Read all about it in upcoming newsletters. From December 15th 2004, the Lambiek comicstore is already open for the public and oh boy, we are really happy with this development!
