In 1963 the pharmacy was converted into The Odyssey Bookshop managed and run by Grenier. During the 1980s, The Odyssey was damaged by two fires and was rebuilt and relocated under the direction of his daughter Joan Grenier. She took over The Odyssey when her father died in 1997. In 2001, it became the official bookstore for Mount Holyoke, and continues with its tradition of author readings and community programs such as South Hadley Reads.
