The building housing Aardvark Books in San Francisco, Calif., is once more up for sale, Curbed SF reported.
The new and used independent bookstore's building went on the market back in 2017, with an asking price of $2.85 million, but the listing expired in January 2018 without a buyer. According to Curbed SF, Aardvark's manager said at the time that the store would remain open "indefinitely." Six months later, however, the building is back on the market, now with an asking price of $2.45 million and a promise that "the property will be delivered vacant."
John Hadreas, owner of Aardvark Books, purchased the Castro/Upper Market building in 1991 for $300,000. The building had previously seen use as a print shop and a movie theater.
