Books-A-Million will "fill the last big vacancy at Santa Fe Place" when it opens a 2nd & Charles store at the shopping center in Santa Fe, N.Mex. An opening date has not been announced by BAM, "which started tenant improvement in mid-October in a portion of the former Mervyn’s anchor space," the New Mexican reported. The new store will occupy a 19,200-square-foot space.
"It’s definitely rare to have a bookstore in today’s marketplace," said mall marketing manager Antonio Guerrero. "We have quite a few bookstores downtown but none in this part of town."
BAM operates 45 2nd & Charles stores in 18 states, and Santa Fe would be the westernmost location.
