Books-A-Million will open a 7,800-square-foot store at SouthPark Mall in Strongsville, Ohio, next month. Cleveland.com reported that it will be the first bookseller in SouthPark since Waldenbooks closed in 2010. A nearby Borders store shut its doors in 2011. The grand opening of the new BAM store is scheduled for March 7.
"We are extremely excited to bring a bookstore back to SouthPark Mall. It is the No. 1 type of store requested," said Andy Selesnik, a mall spokesman.
