US-based bookstore chain Books-A-Million has expanded its footprint with the opening of its new and updated store in Bridgeport, West Virginia.

Situated a few blocks from its location in Meadowbrook mall shopping centre, the updated and modern store is said to be twice the size of the old location.

The store houses a wide range of book assortment and provides customers with a convenient and curated shopping experience.

Store general manager Jenna Hardesty said: “We’re all very excited to bring a bigger and better Books-A-Million to our loyal customers of Bridgeport and the greater community.”

According to Books-A-Million, the upgraded store will retain some associates from the old store.

The company has been serving the community since 2011 and plans to host a grand opening celebration at the new store on 24 June.
