Ulrich's, a bookstore serving the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich., closed today after 88 years in business, M Live reported.
Located at 1200 S. University Ave., near the University of Michigan's Central Campus, the bookstore was founded in 1935 and acquired by Follett in 2015. Follett told M Live that the bookstore's lease was up in November, but did not give an explanation for why the lease was not renewed. Ulrich's manager Tracy Buse, meanwhile, said she was unable to comment on the closure.
"We hope to find new avenues to collaborate with the University of Michigan campus in the future," Follett spokeswoman Leann Fowler said.
A note on the front of the bookstore read: "We want to thank all of our patrons and members of the community for all of their support over the years. Go Blue Forever!"
