25% Off All Items
I wandered over to my local book store as is my wont on a Sunday afternoon and I found signs signifying the closing of the store — 25% off of everything. It’s not really closing. It’s moving to a new, smaller location. Downsizing because book selling in the digital age is a challenge.
They also definitely going to change the format. From one suited to browsing aisles to that of the best sellers. It’s going to be highly similar to an Amazon brick and mortar book store. Only the highlights and not a deep catalog. I only think this to be true, because of the smaller storefront where they have the signs up for the move. Parking is also going to be an issue in that it will share their lot with Trader Joe’s who are notorious for choosing small spaces.
This has been my bookstore for the past ten years. I hope it will still stay. But seeing the signs up, and even knowing of the move, I was bummed out about it that I bought $100 worth of merchandise discounted to $83 with tax.
