Books-A-Million To Open 41 Stores

Birmingham, Ala.-based Books-A-Million Inc. announced that it will open 41 new BAM! stores in markets across the United States in early November 2011. “Our expansion into these markets represents a substantial opportunity for our company,” said Terrance G. Finley, president and COO for Books-A-Million Inc.  “We have been working diligently in the last several months to find ways to keep a number of former Borders store locations in operation under the BAM! brand, and these store openings are the culmination of that work." Currently, the company operates more than 210 stores in 23 states, as well as the District of Columbia.
