The Tattered Cover is an independent bookstore in Denver, Colorado, and one of the largest independent bookstores in the United States. Its original location was in the Cherry Creek district of Denver with a second branch, purchased in 1990, renovated and opened for business in 1994 in Denver's historic LoDo (lower downtown) district. In November, 2004, Tattered Cover opened a third location in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. The Cherry Creek location closed in June 2006, and moved to the newly renovated, long-defunct Lowenstein Theater on Denver's Colfax Avenue. In addition, since 1995 the Cherry Creek location had been home to The Fourth Story Restaurant & Bar, one of Denver's most prominent eating establishments.
