Brier Books, Lexington, Ky., is closing its bricks-and-mortar location and has begun discounting inventory and selling fixtures, the store announced on Facebook. Brier Books will continue to take special orders online as well as do pop-ups and off-site events. The store added: "We love good books and love supporting local writers, so we're exploring our options."
Savannah Sipple and Jay McCoy founded Brier Books in 2017 after the closure of Wyn Morris's Morris Book Shop, which McCoy had managed for several years. The pair had tried to buy the Morris Book Shop, but when that didn't work out, they opened their store down the road from it.
