After more than 30 years in the same location, Bookmans is moving its flagship store at Campbell and Grant to the site of its former Sports Exchange store at 3330 E. Speedway. The move has become necessary since the building is slated for demolition because it is in the path of the city’s Grant Road widening project, said marketing director Sheila Kressler-Crowley. During the move, which should be completed by the end of the month, both stores will be open for business, Kressler-Crowley said. The Speedway location is similar in size, with a sales area of more than 12,000 square feet, she said.
