Now and Then to Remain Open?
:: Posted by Bryan @ 6/25/2007 12:02:00 AM When Dave Sim reported late last year that Now and Then Books in Kitchener was closing, it was widely assumed that one of Canada's oldest comic book shops (if not the oldest) was doomed. I'm sorry it took me so long to follow up on that initial report but I'm pleased to say that owner Dave Kostis has managed to keep the store open and plans to continue doing so, one way or another. On a whim I visited the store this past weekend: The store location is for lease but Now and Then is still selling comics and graphic novels, although the shelves are a little bare compared to the glory days. During a very brief chat with Kostis I learned that he plans to find a new location for the store and continue the Now and Then dream. Kostis is still working off the store's debt and is running a storewide sale (up to 50-70 % off most items) to help alleviate that situation. I encourage everyone in the area to visit the store --who knows, you might even buy something and help perpetuate Harry Kremer's legacy. (I bought the latest Love and Rockets and Dork!)Labels: comics retailers, comicshoptalk
