The former Methvens bookshop in Worthing, which closed after parent company ArgentVive went into administration, has reopened under the name of Bookstack.
The shop began selling books again on Friday and is the third Bookstack shop to be trading in the south of England. Derrick Trubshaw, business development manager for Bookstack, said: "We are delighted to be taking over this well respected and highly thought of book lovers' bookshop. Once again the town will now have a strong and leading independent book seller and we are also thrilled to have been able to re-employ many of the previous staff."
The shop will be managed by Sarah Meadham. She joined Bookstack 18 months ago to develop Bookstack's Brighton store and was previously senior book buyer for Methvens.
The two Methvens shops in Worthing and Chertsey closed in March after parent ArgentVive went into administration. It is unknown what the fate of the Chertsey shop is. A spokesperson for the administrator declined to comment before the story went to press.
