Island Bookstore, which has stores in Duck and Corolla, N.C., on the
Outer Banks, has opened a third store, in Kitty Hawk. Owner Bill
Rickman, who was onetime general manager of Kroch's & Brentano's in
Chicago, Ill., and has owned Island Bookstore for 10 years, said in a
statement, "For years we've met the demands of a seasonal crowd in
Corolla and Duck. Now we'd like to provide for locals a great general
bookstore with an excellent selection of current hardcovers and
paperbacks, book club selections, authors signings, and new to the
Outer Banks, an extensive selection of magazines and periodicals."
During his decade in North Carolina, Rickman has expanded the Duck store and doubled the size of its offerings. Located in the Scarborough Faire shopping center, the store has more than 44,000 titles in 2,400 square feet on two floors. In 2000, he opened a second store, about the same size, in nearby Corolla's Restored Historic Village.
The new Island Bookstore is at 3712 N. Croatan Highway, Kitty Hawk, N.C. 27949; 252-255-5590.
