The shop Big Little News operates on Pike Street, near the intersection of 11th Avenue, on Seattle's Capitol Hill. The bodega-style newsstand carries approximately 200–250 domestic and international magazines, newspapers, and other publications. Fodor's has described the business as a "tiny but huge-hearted new-era newsstand" with fashion magazines, "carefully crafted" journals, tabloids, and "low-budget" zines.
The shop also stocks books, gifts, puzzles, snacks, sodas, beer, champagne, and wine. According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Big Little News has also offered "bi-monthly subscription boxes that can be shipped nationwide filled with exclusive magazine titles, specialty snacks, stationary and other curated goodies". The shop has been described as a woman- and LGBT-owned business.
History
The shop opened in early March 2021, in a remodeled space that previously housed an elevator shaft and later the vintage store No Parking. Business partners Joey Burgess and Tracy Taylor are co-owners. Big Little News has been described as the city's first bodega-inspired newsstand, and was the neighborhood's first newsstand in a decade, according to KING-TV.
In 2021, the shop offered Easter baskets with candy bars, a chocolate bunny, select magazines, and wine. For Mother's Day, Big Little News had gift boxes with a potted pansy, a bottle of Rose, a journal with a pencil set, and select magazines. The shop hosted a LGBT pride-themed pop-up in June, in conjunction with Pride Month.
