Codex Books, Quincy, Ill., has been put up for sale. On the bookstore's website, the current owners noted: "If you've ever wanted to own a bookstore, now is your chance! The owners have loved keeping a bookstore in Quincy, but have an increasing demand with their original business and no longer have time to maintain the store." Codex Books relocated last September from Broadway St. to the old Kirlin's Building downtown at 532 Maine St.
The sale includes all inventory, fixtures and equipment--the entire business. Codex offers new and used books, a bubble tea bar, food and drink café, online sales and various retail gift items.
"This is the perfect business to pivot more toward retail or food if you so desire. Cut what you want and keep what you want," the owners noted, adding that they "would be happy to be available for consultation after the sale is finalized." The asking price is $175,000, but negotiation is encouraged. For more information, contact Codex Books by e-mail at contact@codexgrp.com or phone at 573-503-1388.
