Shelf Awareness
The project to remodel parts of Powell's Books flagship store in Portland, Ore., begins next Monday and will continue for about six months. Announced last May, the project will remodel the building housing the Green and Blue Rooms, making structural and cosmetic changes and additions that include a new entrance, a new roof, energy-efficient windows, fresh exterior paint, additional skylights and new lighting. The rooms will have a new layout, as well as a look and feel that "both respects the history and retains the spirit of Powell's." During the project, the Green and Blue Rooms will be closed, and books currently housed in those areas will be temporarily moved to other locations in the building. The store will continue normal operations throughout the project.
CEO Miriam Sontz commented: "After months of careful planning and preparation for this upgrade, it's exciting to have the remodel project underway. We have been very conscientious about maintaining the high level of service and selection we normally offer our customers, and we're confident that visitors will be able to enjoy the Powell's experience as usual."
