Green Apple Books has set a tentative date of August 1st to move into the ground floor of the former Le Video area. Stephen Sparks, the manager of the new store, is excited about the move. Sparks, an Inner Sunset resident, is hoping to create some local partnerships with organizations like UCSF Medical School and Arizmendi Bakery. The bookstore will be much like the Inner Richmond site with a slightly heavier collection of new books.
Sparks says Le Video is going to start digitizing their collection and move into the mezzanine area. Le Video raised over $60,000 through their Indiegogo campaign. The landlord has been supportive of both businesses and is committed to “keeping it local.” Look for events starting this fall from Green Apple.
