Bookstore History
The Timeless Tales Bookstore was a beloved bookstore opened by Clara Krentzel in 1990, at 7932 W 151st St in Stanley Square, Stanley, Kansas. I wasn't able to find many instances of this bookstore being mentioned, but the mentions stopped at the end of 1992. That is when I discovered that Timeless Tales Bookstore had sold to new owners, Linda & LeWayne Rothers. The Rothers moved the store down 8 doors to 8018 W 151st St. This was a much larger spot and they boasted over 50,000 books! Unfortunately, the trail once again goes cold, with the next clue being an advertisement for the property for lease in 1994.
