Sacramento's East Village Bookshop Looking for Buyer or Business Partner

The owner of East Village Bookshop in Sacramento, Calif., is looking for someone to either buy the bookstore entirely or become partners.

In a Facebook post earlier this week, owner Sabrina Nishijima explained that the bookstore is "at a crossroads" due to a variety of challenges including logistical issues and low foot traffic. Running the bookstore has become "no longer sustainable for our family," and Nishijima is hoping to find a business partner or buyer who is "equally passionate about creating a community-centric bookstore for our neighborhood."

"Unfortunately, in the event we cannot find a path forward, we will be closing the bookstore in the spring," Nishijima continued.

"We are ever so grateful to all of the wonderful readers and neighbors we’ve met along the way who have shared their lives and stories with us," Nishijima said. "It has been a joy creating this space for you."

The bookstore will remain open for now, with hours reduced to 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
