Tattered Cover Leaving Cherry Creek for Lowenstein Redevelopment Site

DENVER-Ending more than a year of speculation, Joyce Meskis confirms she will end an era by closing her Tattered Cover Book Store in Cherry Creek. The book retailer is moving to a new location in the historic Lowenstein Theater on East Colfax Avenue.

DENVER-The Tattered Cover Book Store will move from Cherry Creek North to a new location in the historic Lowenstein Theater on East Colfax Avenue. The current store has more than three full floors of books. Tattered Cover is one of the largest and most widely acclaimed bookstores in the nation.

“We wanted to do our best to exhaust the possibilities for continued use in some portion of the existing location; now it is time to move on,” says Joyce Meskis, owner of the Tattered Cover Book Store. The move into the renovated theater is tentatively scheduled for late June, which is the date the lease expires on the Cherry Creek store. The Tattered Cover first opened in Cherry Creek, at a different location, in 1971. Meskis bought the store in 1974.

As part of the Lowenstein Redevelopment Project, a Twist & Shout music store, and other tenants still to be announced will join the new Tattered Cover location. The Tattered Cover store, which will occupy the largest portion of the renovated theater, will feature a newsstand, coffee shop, author event space, and free parking for its customers. Plans are in development to house the same number of book volumes currently available at the Cherry Creek location.
