Annie Bloom's Books, Portland, Ore., Changes Hands

Bobby Tichenor, owner and co-founder of Annie Bloom's Books in Portland, Ore., has sold the nearly 45-year-old bookstore to longtime employee Will Peters, who has been with the store since 1992.

Tichenor will remain onboard as a founder in a "semi-retired status," while Peters will take ownership of the store he "brilliantly managed for many years." He was a sales rep and bookseller in the Midwest prior to moving to Portland and joining the team at Annie Bloom's, where he became manager soon after.

"Our staff has been remarkably stable over the years," said Tichenor. A few "lovely new faces" have joined recently, and it is "a happy and knowledgeable group we are lucky to work with."
