An iconic Manhattan business will be closing its doors at the end of the month after 126 years in business.
In a letter to the Manhattan Mercury, the owner of Varney's Book Store, Jon Levin, said all three stores will close on June 30th.
Levin told the Manhattan Mercury the store's revenue has fallen 80 percent in the last few years after losing contracts with both the K-State Student Union bookstore and K-State athletics.
Levin said increased online competition also hurt business.
The bookstore said it will have more information about unused gift cards and rewards points
