Its been a fixture of the downtown commercial landscape of Bridgewater for decades. Now though, after 40 years, Sagor’s Bookstore is closing. Owners Ron Topp and Susan Goodwin say times have changed, hi-technology is taking over and sales are dwindling for book sellers in general. Topp says after 4 decades, life is going to be very different for the two of them. “It’s a big part of our social life actually and that’s going to be quite a chance. It’s going to be a relief in some ways to get out of the pressures of the business but yes, going to be a big change. We hope to keep in touch with people of course,” Topp says inventory will be sold-off over the coming couple of weeks. Sagor’s is Bridgewater’s first bookstore and its the oldest one in the Maritimes.
