Yesterday, Half Price Books opened a new store at the Fremont, Calif., Hub Shopping Center. The Union City Patch reported that the bookstore, which was previously located in the Pacific Commons shopping area and had closed briefly, now occupies an 8,800-square-foot space that had been vacated by HobbyTown USA. The Hub had also once been home to a Borders bookstore.
"The success of our Fremont store paved the way for a larger store in the area," said Kathy Doyle, executive v-p at Half Price Books. "Fremont is a wonderful, educated community, and we are glad to expand in a great center like the Hub, especially when many other book retailers are closing stores."
