Shakespeare & Co. is a New York-based retail company that operates an independent bookstore network, founded in Manhattan in 1983. In 2018 the company expanded to multiple brick-and-mortar locations in New York City and Philadelphia, with further expansion anticipated in 2019. The 939 Lexington Avenue store, adjacent to Hunter College, has been a fixture of the Upper East Side for more than two decades and came under new management in May 2015. Since the change, the Lexington store has been renovated to include a cafe and an Espresso Book Machine capable of producing books on-site from a catalog of over 7,000,000 titles. Across its locations, Shakespeare & Co. follows a consistent model that combines bookstore services, cafe offerings, and printing press capabilities.
