ELLSWORTH — The impending closure of the local Mr. Paperback store has caused another city business to close up shop.
Karen’s Café, which was located inside the bookstore at the Maine Coast Mall, closed at the end of last week.
A sign posted in the café over the weekend stated the following:
“As you all know Mr. Paperback will be closing at the end of April. Unfortunately, Karen’s Café had to close March 9. We all thank you for your support and love. We will miss you too.”
Owner Karen Cimeno could not be reached for comment.
Mr. Paperback’s stock was already dwindling Sunday as shoppers browsed the going-out-of-business sale. Sale prices are 50 percent off gifts, cards and bargain books, 35 percent off regular priced books and 10 percent off magazines.
