As many of you may have already heard, we are entering a season of phased closure for our Family Central bookstore. We do this with heavy hearts but also accept the reality that brick-and-mortar bookstores have become increasingly more rare in this age of online book-selling.
Since opening our doors on September 2, 2021, it has been an honor and a privilege to serve the wonderful community of Holland. Your warm support and shared desire to strengthen families in Christ have made this location a true blessing.
Beginning today, we are beginning our liquidation sale so that you can stock up on resources to bless your family at unbelievable prices. We warmly invite you to visit us often during these final weeks to shop all books, Bibles, gifts, children’s resources, and more at significant discounts.
We also encourage you to browse and consider purchasing additional offerings such as our bookcases, furniture, tables, and other fixtures that will be available for sale before the store’s final closure on April 2.
To help serve you well during this season:
· The Whit’s End Playscape will remain open through Saturday, March 21, 2026.
· Normal business operations will continue through Saturday, March 28, 2026.
· The store will remain open to the public through Thursday, April 2, 2026.
We are forever thankful for every conversation, every prayer prayed together, and every memory made at 215 Central Avenue.
While the physical doors of Family Central in Holland will close, the mission of Focus on the Family to equip and encourage families with biblical truth goes forward stronger than ever through FocusOnTheFamily.com, our Help Line (1-800-A-FAMILY), podcasts, and other ministry outreaches. We remain deeply committed to serving you and families across the nation.
With sincere gratitude and continued prayers for God’s richest blessings on every home in Holland,
Family Central Bookstore Team
