Riverrun Bookstore will close its Kittery, Maine, location, which opened last year, October 1. In an e-mail announcing the decision, Riverrun said its flagship store in nearby Portsmouth, N.H., "is NOT closing, it is alive and well."
Expressing gratitude to "customers who supported RiverRun in Kittery Foreside," the bookseller noted: "We loved, loved, loved being there, but unfortunately our sales at that location have not come close to the level needed to sustain our expenses. Nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say, and we are happy we took the risk. We will miss that location greatly."
