Atlantic Books to close stores at shore points

    Atlantic Books may be based in Conshohocken, but it’s identified with the Shore.

    That could change now that the company has announced it will close a handful of beach town locations.

    Stores in Ocean City, Stone Harbor, Beach Haven, Cape May, and some Delaware beaches will close this fall, the Press of Atlantic City reports, leaving Stafford Township with the only remaining Atlantic Books.

    Dwindling profits and less demand for printed books led to the decision. Stores in Dover, Rehoboth Beach and Montgomery Mall.
