This is a great example of a local bookstore and definitely a spot worth supporting. They opened up…read moreback in June of this year (2025). They are located in Kennebunk and if you find yourself in the area looking for your next read stop in. They have it organized into genres neatly so you will find your preference of books right away. In the middle of the first area you walk into you'll find tables with popular or books the staff want on display. You can then go to the back of the building and you'll find the books for the kids along with a fireplace set up and a couple of chairs. It's a very nice set up for those bringing their kids. Also off the main room you will find another room with additional genres including poetry, world history, essays and more. Then lastly around the check out you will find plenty of merch with their logo which is an octopus holding a book, which is a really great logo in my opinion. Also to mention outside they did have one table if you need to start your book right after you buy it! Price wise I felt as though it was about the same as other local bookstores. Just due to distance and the fact I have closer local bookstores to me I won't be someone who comes here frequent but enjoyed browsing and checking it out. No complaints and a bookstore worthy of your time!

Most impressive for me was the amount of books and variety. My husband likes sci-fi vampire books and he found one he was really excited about. My teenage daughter likes any book that has been featured on TikTok and they had those too! Along with greeting cards, gift bags and books it's a one stop shop. I'm a bit spacey and forgot my wallet so I was really glad that they took Apple Pay and I could just tap my phone. Such a cool store to have in Kennebunk and a must stop if you are in the area.

We found this new bookstore just a few…read moresteps away from the busiest part of Perkins Cove and became big fans from the minute we saw it. The small and beautiful building it's housed in is quintessentially Maine. We stepped inside and were greeted right away by a lovely woman working the front desk. We immediately noticed an impressive variety of LGBT+-themed books as well as self-help/mental health ones, which we loved. Of course, they also had best sellers, cookbooks, and everything else. The inside was just out of a magazine. We bought one book and can't wait to return for more during our next Ogunquit trip. We love an indie bookstore!

I think, if you're going to come to a chain bookstore, this should be the place you visit. It's so…read morenew; it's got that new book smell (not really, but... maybe, kinda, sorta?)! 1. So much easy, free parking in their huge shared lot. 2. There's a Starbucks-adjacent cafe. NOTE: it's NOT actually Starbucks though, so you can't order ahead or pay with your app. Just a heads-up! The cafe portion of the bookstore is spacious and clean, with the tables themselves also being spaced quite far apart from one another. It creates a real sense of privacy no matter where you sit! 3. The atmosphere/layout here is very modern and inviting; the selection itself is enormous. Genres are clearly labeled, and there's a tremendous amount of content available no matter what you're looking for (so be prepared to spend some time here wandering around and taking it all in... then you'll probably have to come back, because there's no way you'll actually be able to take it all in on the first visit!). They've got new releases, popular books, recommendations, board games, and more. And, of course, the random armchair for you to sit and peruse your possible purchase. Obviously, support local first. But if you're looking for a slow-paced, wide open, very quiet, very tidy spot to spend a little bit of time (without feeling rushed or forced to purchase something) finding your next favorite read, I'd suggest visiting here!

Bull Moose Music moved from its former smaller store in Sanford to a bigger plaza space at…read moreBiddeford Crossing. This bigger space was once a Nonesuch Books. This new employee owned Bull Moose store is way less cramped than its former Sanford location, where I've shopped for music a long way back. This store had their grand opening a few months ago. Like its old location except more spread out inside, the Biddeford location offers a pretty good selection of new and used music, movies, video games, and books to choose from. The store is well organized nicely by sections with vinyl records, books, CDs, video games, DVDs, Blu-rays and miscellaneous items in between. The music is organized by genre alphabetically with a mix of new and used CDs, They also carry used cassettes ($3 each) underneath the old vinyls. The prices including the sale prices here are very competitive to the online music stores. The Bull Moose website is a good place to search and find which stores have your item or title in stock. They also do special orders and accept used music, movies, and video games for $$$ if in good condition. I spotted several used CDs from 20 years ago being sold for as low as $2.97, which I have in my personal collection and are no longer made. As a holder of the Bull Moose Music FBC (Freakin' Buyers Card), I earn points with each purchase here and receive the Bull Moose Music weekly emails with their e-sales flyers, new releases, promotions, and events (chainwide). IMO, the new Biddeford Bull Moose location is a great improvement to the older cramped location, though it's not as big as the Scarborough Superstore location.

This morning, my wife and I finally planned to go check out their space for the first time. What more could you truly ask for than a cafe/coffee shop meets bookstore meets beer bar! My wife is more of an avid reader than I am so she enjoyed the book aspect more. They have a large menu of offerings drink wise with everything you'd expect from a coffee shop. I do wish they did a rotating seasonal special drink menu, as places usually have one or more great sounding drinks on those. Both my wife and I settled on an iced blueberry latte. Overall it had hints of blueberry and tasted more like milk than anything. Would not be rushing back for it specifically that's for sure. Food wise they have some in-house baked goods as well as bagels from Rose Foods and corssiants from Little Spruce Baking. My wife got a plain bagel with cream cheese while I grabbed a chocolate croissant. I did mess up by not requesting it be warmed up but it was still delicious! Will be finding more spots that have goodies from Little Spruce. The bagel was also tasty. Book wise my wife enjoyed browsing but did not find any books she needed to grab. She did enjoy reading a couple chapters of her current book while we sat by the large windows (good spot for world watching outside). We enjoyed our visit but have other spots we would be happier to visit again.
