Cambridge stationer is up for sale
Bob Slate, Stationer, a Cambridge merchant that has been doing business in Harvard Square for 75 years, is up for sale, its owners said.
The owners, Justin and Mallory Slate, sons of founder Bob Slate, described the store as “a country store for the artistic, academic, and intellectual community.’’
The brothers say it is time to “move on to new chapters in their lives and seek a new owner’’ for Bob Slate, which operates three stores, all in Cambridge.
But they are not looking for just any new owner.
“This is probably not a situation for a national chain with their homogenized approach to retailing,’’ Mallory Slate said in a statement.
