Iconic Independent Bookseller & Destination Anchor Powell's Books is the world's largest independent bookstore and a legendary cultural anchor based in Portland, Oregon. Renowned for its massive inventory of new, used, and rare titles, Powell's serves as a super-regional destination that drives significant foot traffic and tourism. The brand operates a mix of large-format street-front retail (including its block-sized "City of Books" flagship), suburban lifestyle center anchors, and high-volume airport locations. As a tenant, Powell's offers landlords a unique "literary department store" experience that acts as a powerful alternative to big-box retailers, attracting a diverse, loyal, and educated demographic. Their real estate strategy focuses on high-visibility, high-volume markets within the Pacific Northwest, with a recent return to travel retail channels.
