POWERHOUSE on 8th

Dear South Slope Community,

We are excited to announce that our beloved little store here on 8th Ave. will be undergoing a rebirth…in Manhattan, at the former Amazon Books space in the Shops at Columbus Circle (what used to be the Time Warner Center, now the Deutsche Bank Centre). 

We’re moving kit and caboodle over to the Upper West Side, which is in desperate need of a curated book, stationery, and gift store. While opened here in 2012, and business was great for many years, but the loss of Ladybird across the street has had an impact, and as wonderful as our hardcore supporters have been, we have needed more of our Haunted Bookstore fans to have stopped in a bit more frequently.  But, maybe there are other reasons for the decline, which we would love to hear from you about with the QR code below…

While we are closed for now, it would be great to hear from you what you would like to see in the space—another (type of) bookstore, another type of retail or service store, or would you really like to see us come back refurbished and renovated and possibly want to help staff and run, or be interested in learning the trade with the goal to take over at some point? Let us know in a short questionnaire here!  

Have a good summer, and come visit us at Columbus Circle, at the intersection of 59th, Broadway, Central Park South and Central Park West! We’ll be there with lots more to see and engage with right above Boss on the 3rd Floor. 

Sincerely, 

Daniel Power, POWERHOUSE Bookstores, and Staff 

Thank you for continuing to support your local indie bookstore!
