Half Price Books will close its location in downtown Berkeley, Calif., later this year, Berkeleyside reported.
The store's last day in business will be November 30; a spokesperson for Half Price Books told Berkeleyside that the company was unable to come to a lease agreement with that store's landlord.
The Berkeley Half Price Books, which opened in 2005, is located in the landmark Kress Building. Its 13 employees have been encouraged to apply for jobs at other Half Price Books locations.
Berkeleyside notes that this closure announcement comes not long after Books, Inc. closed its own Berkeley location.
