Diesel, A Bookstore will be closing its Malibu store within three to six weeks, owners John Evans and Alison Reid told The Malibu Times. The Brentwood and Oakland stores will remain open. The store is closing due to “market forces,” Evans wrote in a press release, but Evans and Reid hope to reopen a store in Malibu gain one day.
“A change of landlords and related increases, along with years of demolition and construction have damaged our business in that location, beyond repair,” the owners wrote.
“We are grateful and humbled by the valiant support provided by many in the community in attempts to keep their bookstore in town.”
