News of Closure

On 11 May 2008, sources from both the ABC and Dymocks revealed that the ABC was planning to close its 43 ABC Shops in two month's time. The plan was for Dymocks to take over the sale of ABC products at their stores. An ABC spokeswoman, however, dismissed the claim as "absolutely incorrect" in a letter to the Sydney Morning Herald editor on 18 May 2008.
