The history section at Bookmans Entertainment Exchange, 1930 E. Grant Rd., is history as James Harmon helps transfer books to their new location. After more than 30 years in the same location, Bookmans is moving to the site of its former Sports Exchange store at 3330 E. Speedway, said marketing director Sheila Kressler-Crowley. The move has become necessary since the building on Grant Road is slated for demolition because it is in the path of the city's road widening project, she said. 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.
