The Colorado Bookstore "on the Hill," Boulder, Colo., which was founded more than 80 years ago and is now operated by Barnes & Noble College, is closing in March, the Denver Post reported. The store is an off-campus college store. The CU Bookstore, the official bookstore of the University of Colorado, which is operated as a nonprofit auxiliary organization, continues.
The Colorado Bookstore's building, owned by Zane Blackmer, is a focus of redevelopment efforts in the University Hill area of Boulder and likely will be torn down, according to the Daily Camera. Blackmer has proposed for the site "a mixed-use project with street-level retail space topped by two floors of market-rate apartments."
The bookstore has operated since at least 1930 and moved to its present location in 1965.
