Canada, Nova Scotia, Halifax, Atlantic News Stand
Atlantic News first opened it's doors in September 1973. Bunny Scheffman closed the Downtown Book Store on Argyle St and Pat Doherty welcomed the customers to the corner of Morris & Queen St. Atlantic News was a real family affair with Pat's father, brother, sister and his wife Onough all working at the store. Pat died suddenly in 1991 and Onough continued on. Stephen and Michele bought Atlantic News from Onough on January 1st 1998 after having worked for Onough and her second husband for 5 years.
In 2001 they renovated this Halifax institution, filling the store with more light and space. As the magazine industry has changed pace they have continued to search out niche titles often at the request of our customers, transforming the bookstore into a reader's paradise.
