Two Businesses Fill Newspaper Delivery Void Created by Magazines Inc. Sale

BANGOR, Maine — Newspaper readers in Greater Bangor, Ellsworth and coastal towns such as Mount Desert Island and Blue Hill came within six days of not being able to buy papers at their favorite store and newsstand shelves.

The pending sale of Magazines Inc. to Hudson-RPM Distributors LLC came within a week of creating a print news void, but now Hudson and another distribution business are delivering newspapers to stores and newsstands from Waterville to Old Town and Bangor and to coastal towns including Bar Harbor and Belfast.
