Longtime owner Debbie Kerby has put Pendleton Book Company in Pendleton, Ore., up for sale. The store is located on Main Street in downtown Pendleton, and sells new and used titles in a variety of genres. For the past several years, it has been the only bookstore in Pendleton (population: 16,000).
The town is best known for the Pendleton Round-Up, a major rodeo held every September. The town is also home to the Pendleton Center for the Arts, located just across the river from the bookstore, and the region supports the Oregon East Symphony.
Kerby is looking to sell the store, along with her inventory, shelving, cash register, computer and inventory management software. For more information about the bookstore, Kerby can be reached by phone at 541-276-9292 or by e-mail at penbkco@eotnet.net.
