The Tattered Cover, a local bookstore chain here in Denver, opened their new store yesterday at McGregor Square, just across the street from Coors Field. The Lower Downtown (LoDo) store on Denver's 16th Street Mall closed on March 17th, reopening at the new location three blocks to the north three months later. The new bookstore is much larger than I thought it would be, thanks to a large second floor, connected to the first by a grand staircase, a nod to that same feature at the stores in LoDo and Cherry Creek (which closed in 2006). It is a very modern looking space, with lots of windows, and I wish them well. I was surprised, however, to find that the coffee shop will be run by Starbucks, instead of by the Tattered Cover staff, like at the old store. Is this the first big change in the operation after being purchased by a deep-pocket investment group? Perhaps so.
