A large national chain bookstore and coffee shop is expanding to Beaufort, SC. Books-A-Million (BAM) is setting up shop in the Beaufort Plaza Shopping Center at 11 Robert Smalls Pkwy , just across from the street from Chipotle.
With over 260 stores spanning 32 states and the District of Columbia, Books-A-Million offers a diverse selection of books for adults and children, as well as toys, collectibles, games, and gifts. The upcoming Beaufort store will also feature a Joe Muggs coffee and espresso bar.
Joe Muggs will provide a variety of handcrafted beverages, including coffees, espressos, smoothies, teas, and refreshers. Patrons can enjoy classic favorites like lattes and frappuccinos, alongside inventive, literature-themed options such as the Unbirthday Cake Mocha and Mad Here Mango Lemonade.
Both Books-A-Million and Joe Muggs are expected to open later this year, joining newer plaza tenants Publix Supermarket, Beall’s, Chipotle, and Five Guys Burgers & Fries.
Beaufort is home to three independently owned bookstores currently. It is no telling what the arrival of Books-A-Million in town will mean for them. But, please, when you are out looking for a good book, don’t forget about The Beaufort Bookstore, NeverMore Books, and McIntosh Book Shoppe. They mean a lot more to Beaufort than Books-A-Million ever will.
Books-A-Million in Beaufort. We never saw that coming.
