Bradley's Book Outlet will be closing all of its stores in the area, company officials announced this week, and liquidation sales began Friday.

“The past couple of years have been a struggle with the stores overall not producing a profit. I was okay with that for several reasons, first and foremost it kept the jobs of the people I admire and respect, which is what makes this such a difficult decision. Due to the virus and the viability of many of our malls, we have reached a point where the stores are losing money and I don’t see a path forward for a turnaround," said owner Mike Paper.

According to a company release, Bradley's Book Outlet is a "family-owned" discount book store, headquartered in Blawnox, Pa, which has been in business since 1993.

The company has eight locations throughout the state:

  • Nittany Mall in State College,
  • Logan Valley Mall in Altoona,
  • Cranberry Mall,
  • DuBois Mall,
  • Grove City Outlets,
  • Indiana Mall,
  • Pittsburgh Mills and,
  • Uniontown Mall
