Clevo Books, the bricks-and-mortar bookstore opened in 2022 by the independent publisher of the same name, is moving to a new location this month, Cleve Scene reported.
Owner Cathryn Siegal-Bergman is taking Clevo Books from its previous home in the Euclid Arcades in downtown Cleveland to a 3,000-square-foot space at 1030 Euclid Ave, a distance of about three blocks. Siegal-Bergman plans to use the additional space to add a wine bar and expand the store's book and nonbook selections.
Siegal-Bergman told Scene that Clevo Books had outgrown its original home, and at the same time, the Arcades had started to suffer from vacating tenants and declining foot traffic due to new management. The new space, which used to be a Rise Nation studio, "seems to be ideal. It gives us new room to grow into."
The store carries titles from Clevo Books along with titles from other publishers, with an emphasis on women authors in translation. Siegal-Bergman plans to have the move complete and the store open for business in time for Independent Bookstore Day.
