The Bookies, our 2023 Best of Denver winner for Best Bookstore - New Books, has been an independent store serving Denver families and educators since 1971.
The Bookies will hold a large sale in the months ahead of the move, and should be in the new location in time for the holidays. The new space will offer the same inventory of books, games, toys and educator supplies, as well as gathering spaces for events, storytimes, book clubs and readers. “The Lehrer family has even been gracious enough to leave a couple of their gorgeous fireplaces,” writes Sullivan in a soon-to-be-published blog post.
Sullivan tells us that one of her main priorities after closing BookBar and focusing on The Bookies was to purchase a property instead of continuing to lease. “I also thought it would be beneficial to move out of the current strip-mall location where we are tucked into a corner, just a block away from a Barnes & Noble," she adds."We've been looking for new locations for at least a year but nothing, until recently, was large enough or close enough to the current location.
“It was very important to stay close to the roots and customer base of this fifty-year-old bookstore,” says Sullivan. “It has been in its current location for forty years, so we didn't want to be too disruptive by moving too far away. The new building is only two miles from where we are now, which will be good for all of our customers, staff and partners.”
The new location will see some changes, but Sullivan says all of them are positives: more natural light, higher ceilings, a more recognizable — and findable — location. The move will also allow The Bookies to expand its outreach to school and various literary organizations around the city, providing indoor parking for a newly-purchased, fully-electric transit van. The store's former vehicle, dubbed Mavis the Magical Bookmobile, is a 1994 Ford Ambulance and has now retired.
In the meantime, she's focusing on The Bookies."We are all so excited for this next evolution of one of Denver’s beloved literary institutions,” Sullivan says, “and look forward to continuing to serve Denver families and educators for years to come.”
