Tattered Cover Book Store's location in lower downtown Denver, Colo., will close on March 17 in advance of a move to McGregor Square, a new multiuse development next to Coors Field, The Know reported. The move had originally been announced last May but without a firm date.
Tattered Cover co-owner Kwame Spearman, who purchased the store last fall along with David Back and an investor group called Bended Page, told The Know that they are eyeing a May opening date for the McGregor Square location. Their neighbors will include a bank, a sports bar and an Italian restaurant.
"We are sad to leave this historic location, but the cost of rent does not make sense for us as a business," Spearman said. "That staff is hopeful that people will stop by to share their memories of the space and help us say goodbye."
Dick Monfort, owner and chairmain of the Colorado Rockies, is a member of Bended Page and is also part of the group leading the development of McGregor Square.
