Jack's Books, a new and used bookstore with a general-interest inventory, is coming to downtown Florence, S.C., later this year, the Post and Courier reported.
Store owner Colton Cauthen hopes to have the bookstore up and running by the end of 2024. He noted that Florence has been without a bookstore for years, and eventually he "had an epiphany. Instead of complaining about not having one, maybe I should try to do something about it."
Cauthen announced his plans for Jack's Books in April and was amazed by the enthusiasm. "I am blown away by the response over the past 24 hours since announcing Jack's Books," Cauthen wrote in a Facebook post. "What an exceptional community. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to share it and to express your excitement and support!"
