If you live in the Washington DC Metropolitan area and you love books, you’ve probably visited at least one of Olsson’s Bookstores. But no more.
PW reports, as does the Washington Post: Olsson’s Books and Records has filed for liquidation under the chapter 7 bankruptcy laws and has closed its doors after 36 years selling books in the Washington D.C. area. All five of its current Washington D.C.-area stores have been closed. The firm applied for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July with plans to reorganize and cut costs by closing some of its stores. But a combination of low sales and rising rent was more than the DC metro-area indie chain could overcome. This is what’s left of their website if you want to read their history or post a testimonial. RIP.
