Rick Stein to open bookshop with Ron Johns

Celebrity chef Rick Stein is set to open a bookshop with his wife Sarah and Cornish bookseller Ron Johns next month.

Stein, television presenter and author of several cookbooks, will open The Padstow Bookseller in the Cornish port town of Padstow on 15th March after harbouring a long time “dream” to open a bookshop.

He is going into business with Cornish bookshop owner Ron Johns, who will own 50% of the venture, while Rick and his wife Sarah Stein will own a 25% stake each.
As well as authoring a number of cookbooks, Stein already owns four restaurants in Padstow, a fish and chip shop in Falmouth and a fish and chip shop in Newquay, while Johns owns three other bookshops in Falmouth, St Ives and Dartmouth.
Padstow has not had a bookshop since the last one closed five years ago.  MORE
