APPLETON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin-based Book World says it’s closing all of its 45 stores in seven states, citing a shift in consumer preference to online shopping.
Sales will continue until all inventory is sold. Dupont expects that process to be complete by January.
The company has 20 stores in Wisconsin. It also has stores in Minnesota, Michigan, Missouri, and North Dakota.
The company is headquartered in Appleton, which is about 30 miles southwest of Green Bay.
