Popular Madison bookstore temporarily closes after downtown displacement, directs customers to the competition | 97 Seven Country WGLR - The Tri-States Best Variety of Country

By Christina Lorey Jul 27, 2021 | 4:55 PM MADISON, Wis.– It’s a new chapter for a beloved local bookstore. After nearly 50 years downtown, A Room of One’s Own is moving three miles east: into a historic building in the Atwood neighborhood, most recently occupied by Threshold. The 4500-square-foot, 100-year-old space is a little smaller than the bookstore’s most recent home on Gorham Street, but this move will bring about several big changes. Gretchen Treu, who’s co-owned the shop since 2018, expects to get less tourist traffic and student shoppers at her new location. But they say the Atwood neighborhood is known for its small businesses, walkability, and focus on family, so they thinks the shop will be a good fit.
