Bookstore, Vinyl, and Coffee Concept Coming to Durham

DURHAM, NC — Echo + Page, a curated bookstore, vinyl shop and coffee shop, is targeting a late February or early March opening at 406 S Driver St, Durham, NC 27703, owner Jermaine Bantum told Business Debut.

What to Expect

Echo + Page will combine coffee service with a rotating selection of books and records, designed as a workspace and community hangout for creatives. Bantum said the shop aims to be “a place where culture and community can meet up,” with room for guests to work on projects, read, write and doing creative work.

Bantum, who also owns Triangle Coffeehouse, said Echo + Page will be a different concept built around coffee, books and vinyl in one space.

The books and records will be tightly curated and rotate month to month with changing themes. “It’ll definitely be a carefully curated selection that I’ll probably rotate out monthly,” Bantum told Business Debut.

A local focus is central to the inventory, with an emphasis on supporting North Carolina authors and music artists alongside a broader range of categories, Bantum said.

Opening Timeline

Bantum said he is targeting a late February or early March opening in Old East Durham, an area he described as having a strong history of small businesses.

Hours

Echo + Page plans to operate seven days a week, 8 a.m.—4 p.m. Events are expected to take place mostly in the evenings and at night.
