This was my first experience of being in this place. I was looking for a good study Bible because I wanted to get deeper into my understanding of God. When I entered, I must say I was surprised because I figured it would look like a library. But to my surprise, I first thought it was somewhere hipsters hung out sipping on for too expensive coffee. Soon, I found that not to be true. The people who were shopping were genuinely nice and not stuck up, as I figured. As I searched for the Bibles, I saw a huge selection, and I was like a kid in a candy store. Every Bible I decided to buy, I saw another that was better than the one before. As I was looking, I noticed one associate helping a customer, and he asked her a question that she could not answer and what I admired about her is she did not let her pride get the best of her and she admitted she did not know and she asked for help. Even though neither of the employees could answer the question but they made that customer feel like he mattered he was more than just someone there to spend money.

Read moreLovely bookstore with a huge selection. Diverse collection of books, magazines, toys, games, gifts, shirts, journals, and more. A good place to find a unique gift. The atmosphere is quiet and cozy. There is an area with comfy furniture to lounge. The employees are so sweet and go above and beyond to help you find what you are looking for. One day I was looking for a popular youth series for a gift and couldn't remember the name. They knew just what I was talking about and brought every option up to the register. It's always so clean with everything stocked and placed perfectly. Joe Mugg is located within the store and carries a diverse section of baked goods, candies, and drinks. This hidden gem has frappes to die for. They blow all competitors out of the water. If you've never tried one you are missing out. You can easily substitute dairy for non-dairy options and they taste just as amazing as their full fat counterpart. A great little cafe to relax or break out the laptop and...
Read moreManagement My wife and I and grandson recently visited the Books a million at the Panama city location. I attempted to order from the café, but I was greeted with a frown from the lady taking the orders, and a stern command to "wait at the register" until she finished what she was doing. I immediately realized she might have been offended by my appearance. Not much I can about that. So I sat down and asked my handsome grandson to approach and order for us. He did not have much success in receiving a welcoming smile and a friendly greeting . He ordered ,but she made sure our order was going to take some time. Tea and lemonade. 5 min. No other orders ahead of ours. Sad to say, you cannot make people be friendly or kind. When they are , it does makes the experience enjoyable. This is not our first encounter like this, I know it won't be out last. This store is actually beautiful and a joy. Next visit we should probably bring our...
