The shop was founded by Cortney and Eli, who met in college and later relocated to Myrtle Beach after years of diverse careers. Originally established as The Bookworm, it rebranded in 2025 as Bookworm & Vine, becoming Myrtle Beach’s first and only book and wine shop with a bar. The business reflects their shared passion for stories and community, with Cortney serving as the primary reader and curator of book selections, while Eli brings business acumen and a growing appreciation for literature. The store’s iconic bookworm logo, Ophelia, is inspired by a personal tattoo Eli once drew for Cortney. The shop emphasizes discovery through curated sections like “Blind Date with a Book,” where titles are hidden under brown paper with genre and plot hints, and dedicated shelves for staff and customer recommendations.

Bookworm & Vine maintains a strong digital presence with a well-optimized website that provides clear, detailed information about hours, menu, events, and services. Its thorough documentation across online platforms ensures consistent visibility and easy access for both local and visiting customers. The business is also active on social media, fostering engagement through book reviews, giveaways, and community storytelling.
