While Books-A-Million is slated to close its Chattanooga bookstore, the company is making plans to open another retail concept at a different Hixson location.
A 2nd & Charles store, which sells new and used goods and buys a variety of previously owned items, is aiming to open in Oak Park Town Center this fall, according to the shopping center’s owner.
The store, which would be the retailer’s first in Tennessee, is expected to take 20,500 square feet of space in the center at 5756 Highway 153, said Matthew Chudoba of ShopOne. That’s about a mile or two from the longtime Books-A-Million store.
The 2nd & Charles would be neighbors to Walmart, Marshalls, Petco, Chick-fil-A and other retailers and restaurants.
Chudoba said 2nd & Charles complements the center’s diverse mix of retail and dining tenants.
