Pressed Lakeland, a space for people to work, read, and engage in conversation.
Independent bookstores have been safe havens in communities for decades, offering a creative and calm space for like-minded individuals to come and exist in a space with entryways to a thousand different worlds. Christina and Paul Needham are continuing that tradition with Pressed, a new bookstore open in downtown Lakeland.
Pressed doesn’t just feature an extensive collection of new and used books of all genres, including a focus on local authors and a kids’ section complete with kid-sized furniture. The store also features Honeycomb Bread Bakers baked goods and Ethos coffee, both locally run businesses in Lakeland. The Needhams plan to create community events, including book clubs, readings, poetry nights, and more in the future with the store. You can stop by Pressed for some coffee and a good book today at 213 E. Bay Street.
