Tattered Cover parent company puts Denver bookstore chain up for sale

The Tattered Cover — Colorado’s largest independent bookstore and an iconic destination for Denverites and tourists alike — is officially up for grabs as the owners consider selling. Bended Page LLC, which owns and operates the Tattered Cover Book Store, asked the court Friday to postpone an upcoming bankruptcy reorganization hearing so the company could respond to potential buyers, according to a Friday news release from Tattered Cover. While the store did not name the interested buyers that had already reached out, the company is in discussions with multiple individuals and businesses across the country, the release stated. The store also “expects additional interest from other potential buyers as word spreads that Colorado’s iconic independent bookstore is open to being acquired,” the release stated. Kwame Spearman, co-owner and ex-CEO of Tattered Cover, said he has had some conversation with people who would be interested in potentially acquiring the chain. “As I mentioned in a [court] proceeding, I want to do everything I can to ensure that Tattered Cover survives,” he said.
