50-year-old Damariscotta bookstore up for sale
The Maine Coast Book Shop in Damariscotta, one of New England’s largest independent bookstores, is being put on the market.
The Bangor Daily News reported that co-owners Susan Porter and her husband, Barnaby, are selling the 50-year-old business because they want to spend more time with family. The Porters have owned the business for nearly 30 years.
Porter said the bookstore “hasn’t been that profitable in the last couple of years,” but she hopes to find a buyer who is passionate about books and working in a bookstore. The business has not been officially listed yet.
