Jillian Manus-Salzman performs miracles daily. You are in good hands. Good luck …

This from the Murky-News article:

“A main goal is to negotiate a lower rent for the
10,000-square-foot store. The rate, exceeding
$30,000 a month, was set during economic boom times
and seems above current market rates, Manus-Salzman said.

The owner, the Tan Group of Palo Alto, offered to
lease a smaller space, but not to reduce the price
per square foot, Manus-Salzman said. But the store
needs ample shelf space to generate sales. A
representative of the Tan Group could not be reached
for comment Monday.”

Tan Group doesn’t sound too cooperative, at least with the media. They don’t sound too cooperative.

Hoping for the best,

Bob.

I love Keplar’s books. That said, IF the reopening happens,
Clark Keplar and his investors should consider carrying a larger
selection of ‘bargain books’. That is the only thing that draws me
to Barnes and Noble or Borders; they have huge selections of
discounted books.
