Stacey's (San Francisco), 1923 - 2009

Stacey's Bookstore in San Francisco is closing in March, 2009, after 85 years.

It is with great sadness that we announce that after 85 years in business Stacey’s will be closing its doors in March 2009. While the store generates over $4 million in sales, increasing expenses and steadily decreasing sales have compelled the owners to decide to vacate before the current lease expires in 2011. We have wonderful and loyal customers and had hoped to stick it out until our lease expired in 2011, but conditions in the past few months have compelled us to close sooner rather than later.
