The Chapters Festival Hall bookstore, located beneath the Scotiabank Theatre in Toronto, will close May 30, less than two months after the shuttering of the iconic Chapters Runnymede store. The World's Biggest Bookstore, another Indigo location, closed March 30.
"After lengthy negotiations, we have made the difficult decision not to renew our lease," said Janet Eger, v-p of public affairs for Indigo Books & Music. "We believe there continue to be opportunities for us to better serve our [Toronto metropolitan area] customers." She added the company is looking at potential new locations "that will best meet our requirements" in Oakville, downtown Toronto and Bloor West Village.
