Rose Larrivee

Rose Larrivee is an American entrepreneur who relocated to Portugal in October 2022, where she opened a charming bookstore called Rosebud in Porto. A former employee at a North American company, she decided to pursue her passion for literature after a career break, avoiding the traditional corporate path. Since opening her store in August 2024, Rose has successfully catered to both locals and expatriates by offering a diverse selection of English books, creating a welcoming space for community activities such as book clubs. Her commitment to supporting local authors and her keen awareness of market trends, including the influence of social media on reading preferences, have made her bookstore a unique addition to the Porto literary scene.
