Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena, Calif., permanently closed its Hastings Ranch location on Sunday, Pasadena Now reported.
Vroman's announced the closure in March, explaining that it had been unable to reach agreement on a new, sustainable lease with the property owner. The company also reported that 12 employees would be affected by the closure, and said Vroman's would "do everything we can to support them through continued employment with the company where possible."
The Hastings Ranch store, located at 3729 E. Foothill Blvd., had been in operation for more than 20 years. Vroman's flagship location at 695 E. Colorado Blvd. in downtown Pasadena will continue to operate, as will Book Soup in West Hollywood, which Vroman's also owns.
Vroman's has been owned by the Sheldon family for most of its 130-year history, and in January, Joel Sheldon announced that he was looking to sell the store.
