Giant Book Sale, 1120 Bower Parkway: spring 2009 1 comment
I wrote about this building when it had closed as a Goody's and was about to open as a book remainder store.
I finally did get there during the holiday season, and found that I was able to pick up some Disney Princess and other kids books and knick-nacks for Christmas at pretty reasonable prices. I don't have the patience I used to have to comb over every book in this type of store for the odd bargain, but I did pick up a couple of books for myself as well. At the time, the staff wasn't sure how long the store would be open, but hoped it would go into the new year, and I believe it did and a few months beyond that, making a pretty good run for this type of thing. The building is empty again now which can't be great for the area, especially with the empty Circuit City across the road.
UPDATE 15 February 2017 -- Added some pictures of the place in operation.
Goody's Family Clothing, 1130 Bower Parkway (off Harbison Blvd): 2008 16 comments
I already posted about the closing of the Two Notch Goody's, and the problems the whole chain was and is having, but I thought it was interesting that the building for the Bower Parkway Goody's, which apparently closed at the same time, has already been re-purposed. Granted these "giant book sale" things usually only last for a couple of weeks or months (though one at the old Waccamaw Pottery mall lasted for a few years), but it's something and it starts today, so you if you head out now, you can get 80% off some out of date computer manuals, and cookbooks by people you never heard of.
UPDATE 18 July 2009: Not its a "liquidation sale" for the next month or so. The sort of $5 entrance fee affair you used to see at Jamil Temple sometimes:
UPDATE 25 May 2010: Change post title to reflect full official name of the store and full street address.
UPDATE 22 Sep 2010 -- Now it's a Halloween store:
UPDATE 24 September 2011 -- It's to be a Stein Mart:
UPDATE 31 October 2011 -- Looks like Stein Mart is open:
UPDATE 10 May 2017 -- Actually I have been confusing 1120 & 1130 Bower Parkway. Goody's, the Haloween popup store and the Giant Book Sale store were all in 1130, most recently occupied by H H Gregg. 1120 where Stein Mart was is a different storefront.
