After a 70-year run, Paul’s Book Store announced in a Tuesday Instagram post that it will close in early 2025. The bookstore is located at 670 State St. and has been well known for its vintage and cozy feel since its opening in 1954.
Paul’s Book Store was founded by Paul Askins, and the business was given to his wife and University of Wisconsin alum Caryl Askins in 1975 after his death, according to On Wisconsin Magazine.
“It’s been an adventure and a labor of love, and now it’s time to say goodbye,” the bookstore said in its Instagram post. “Stop in, find a good book, say hello and goodbye, and keep on reading!”
