Deseret Book makes plans to relocate
The company's flagship retail store will stay at its current ZCMI Center location through the holidays and then will move to the street level of adjacent office buildings in the spring of 2007, according to Deseret Book Executive Vice President Jeff Simpson. Simpson did not state a precise destination.
"It'll be within a stone's throw of where we are right now, maybe somewhere in the area of where the (ZCMI Center) food court is right now," Simpson said. "We're thinking it'll be right in that area, but then again it might be a little to the east of that, or a little to the west, we don't know. But we do know that it will be in very close proximity to (the store's) current location."
Scott Trotter, LDS Church spokesman, said Thursday that "the retail store is projected to temporarily move to an East South Temple location near the current Beneficial Life building.
"The store's permanent location has not been announced," Trotter said.
"Other food and retail outlets will also relocate to this area as leases are negotiated."
No other information was disclosed.
Deseret Book's new/relocated store which will include a Lion House Pantry Express, children's reading area and a section for Mormon handicraft merchandise in addition to its book, music and home decor offerings also will remain open throughout the construction period, Simpson said.
As will Mr. Mac. Office manager John Stoneman said that the store will be open at its current location at ZCMI Center until about May 1, 2007, at which point it will move to an as-yet-undisclosed location.
"We're not going to tell you where it is yet, because we haven't signed any papers," Stoneman said. "But I will say that it's going to be fantastic, and it's in the area within a very short walk of where we are now."
