Signs posted at the Bookend Cafe, at 1115 Pearl St., announce that the beloved coffee shop, located next to and sharing a wall with the Boulder Bookstore, will close on May 1.
“The
BookEnd Cafe will be closing its doors on Sunday evening, May 1,” the
sign says. “Thank you for 20 wonderful years of downtown Boulder
memories. Look for us to reopen in several months with our next
incarnation.”
An
employee inside said that ownership of the cafe would remain the same,
but that those in charge wanted to take the store in a different
direction. The employee could not elaborate on what those plans would
be.
“Partners-in-life”
Philip Shull and Christine Kimura opened the cafe nearly 20 years ago,
and Shull, president of Deneuve Construction Services, is still listed
as registered agent of the LLC document held with the Colorado Secretary
of State.
Shull could not be reached for comment late Tuesday afternoon.
