It's moved: Around February 2nd of 2017 they decided to relocate the Southaven Books A Million to this location which was about a half mile away behind this building.
Well, this was my first time here to this new location. No doubt, some changes have been made compared to the old location. The first thing I noticed is that it seems longer going from the front entrance to the back where the magazines are. It is also shorter in width.
No coffee shop: They do not have a coffee shop like most Books A Million stores. Furthermore, they stated they are not going to get one either.
Magazine section smaller: I don't know why but they have decreased their magazine footage. They tried to put as many magazines in this smaller footage. As a result, they have over lapped some of the magazines. So, you can't see the whole front of a magazine. You have to pull it out to see the name. Before, you didn't have to do this.
No chairs: At time of visiting on March 7, 2017, they had no chairs in front of the magazines. I guess they don't like people reading for free. But, this is not true. I buy books and Magazines from them. I like to check them out and if I find them so interesting that I want to read all of it. I will buy it. I've done it several times.
They have a loyalty card that has a one year membership. It gives you discounts on most items sold here. You can renew it once it expires.
In summary, I like this book store and I will be back. There are only few book stores left these days. We need to support the few that we have so we can have a book store to shop at.
Final thoughts; The service was a little more than average as I found an associate and asked for information. She was helpful and guided me to a certain section. I'm glad we still have a Books A Million as I first thought that they went out of business. However, they just relocated. I wished they had put a sign saying "they moved" to this address on the window of old building. read more
