Independent bookstore, Writers Block Bookstore with locations in Winter Park and Winter Garden is having to close its Winter Garden store at the end of April thanks to their landlord choosing to terminate their lease to bring in a new tenant at a much higher rent. The bookstore which has been open in Winter Garden for five years, offers a curated selection of new books across all genres, along with a heathy selection of events, book clubs, and community gathering made the sad announcement on its social media channels. "Dear Winter Garden friends, This is a very difficult note to write. Due to recent changes in downtown property ownership, our landlord has chosen to terminate our lease to bring in a new tenant at a significantly higher rent. Because of this, Writer's Block Bookstore will be closing our Winter Garden location at the end of April." The store owner, Lauren Zimmerman went on to share how upsetting the news was to everyone at Writers Block Bookstore , "This is deeply upsetting for our team - and for me personally. I fell in love with Winter Garden from the very beginning. The past five years have been a joy and a privilege, and I will always be grateful for the relationships we've built with so many of you - families, readers, teachers, and friends who made this store what it." Zimmerman is hoping to stay connected with the local Winter Garden community, and will continue to serve customers through their Winter Park store at 316 N Park Ave, Winter Park , and online at writersblockbookstore.com , with pickup and delivery available. She is also exploring options to remain in Winter Garden, "We are continuing to explore every possible option to remain in Winter Garden and will share updates as we have them. Thank you, always, for the kindness and support you’ve shown the store. — Lauren" Writers Block Bookstore was established on a side street in downtown Winter Park in 2014. The building, constructed in 1925, had a charming character with separate rooms for each department. As they expanded, they began searching for a location on the main street. In 2017, they purchased a building and moved to the new premises at 316 N Park Ave in October 2019. In 2020, during the pandemic, the City of Winter Garden invited them to open another bookstore in downtown Winter Garden, the location they now have to vacate.

The store located at 1800 E.
