The closure of the Pérgamo bookstore is not what it seems: no speculation, no vulture funds, no other ‘Maricarmen case’
The tenants are looking for a new headquarters and to take the brand after registering the name, without the knowledge of the owners, of a business that has belonged to the same family for 80 years.
A centuries-old bookstore in Madrid, Pérgamo, is at the center of a real estate dispute. The store is owned by Ana Serrano, who inherited it from her family and ran it with her sister. An investor, Juan José Janeiro, attempted to save the store over four years ago, and a young cultural advocate, Pablo Cerezo, is also involved. The conflict threatens to shut down the historic bookstore, which has hosted many renowned authors.
