Congratulations to Gibson's Bookstore, Concord, N.H., which the New Hampshire Retail Association has named the New Hampshire Retailer of the Year, "recognizing its outstanding contribution to the retail industry." The association continued: "Established in 1898, Gibson's holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously operating retailer in the Concord area, showcasing its enduring legacy and commitment to the community. Under the ownership of Michael Herrmann, who acquired the bookstore in 1994, Gibson's underwent a significant transformation, culminating in its relocation to its current address on South Main Street in 2013. This move has positioned Gibson's as a cornerstone of the local retail landscape, offering the community a rich history and a modern shopping experience."
See the association's video here, in which Michael Herrmann discusses the store and its history, its staff, its wide range of offerings, its programs, all part of a mission "to connect writers with readers."
