| Sherman's in Damariscotta, Maine | |
Sherman's Maine Coast Book Shops will open new locations in the state this summer, in Topsham, Windham and Rockland. Like the other Sherman's stores, the new locations will be general-interest bookstores for all ages with selections of stationery, cards, puzzles and other gifts. The Topsham and Windham stores will be located in malls, while the Rockland store will be in a freestanding building.
Early on in the pandemic Sherman's permanently closed its store in Camden, Maine, and after receiving incredible customer support throughout 2020, Sherman's went on the hunt to find a new location that would replace the Camden store.
"We went looking for an opportunity to open a new store and found three opportunities instead," said Jeff Curtis, co-owner and CEO of Sherman's. "We couldn't decide between them, so we decided to open all three!"
The bookstore is looking to hire booksellers to work at not only the new locations but also the five existing locations, in Bar Harbor, Boothbay Harbor, Damariscotta, Freeport and Portland. Sherman's was founded in Bar Harbor in 1886.
