City Stacks will close on August 31 after a five-year run in LoDo, inform Danielle Krolewicz, likes a good cup of coffee, a good book and a good deal — not necessarily in that order.

A five-year lease at 1743 Wazee Street is coming to an end, and so is the business that occupies the spot. On August 2, City Stacks Books & Coffee posted this message on its website and Facebook page:

To all our friends and valued customers: after five years, we've made the difficult decision to close the store on August 31.

Until then, all books and sidelines are 50% off.

If you have gift cards or balances on your frequent buyer account, please take this opportunity to use them as we cannot provide cash payments for the existing balance.

Thank you for your support.

In December 2015, City Stacks opened in an area of LoDo that lacked retail options. Co-founders Kevin Gillies and his son, Benjamin Gillies, teamed up with Kevin's wife, Nancy Banks, and Benjamin's longtime partner, Emily Scholl, to open the store. In August 2016, Benjamin, an avid book lover and seller, passed away after suffering from a long illness, but the trio continued to run the business...

Gillies says he and City Stacks were proud to have been a part of the lasting memory for many local families shopping for children's books.

"We started out in a low-key fashion, and of course we don't feel too much like celebrating because we're closing a store, but we're opening a new chapter," says Gillies. "There are always things in the future; that's to be determined. I have another business as a consultant, and my wife is an author. We always keep ourselves busy. We got into it for a reason, and we had a good run."
