The Books-A-Million store in Towne Center is closing in early 2018, leaving a nearly 16,000-square-foot vacancy in the shopping center, according to a real estate listing for the property.

It is unclear whether the Alabama-based retail chain has plans to relocate the store to another location or is permanently leaving the Baton Rouge market. The Towne Center store, which opened in the mid-2000s, is the only Books-A-Million outlet in the Capital Region and is one of just six in the state.

My dad still goes to that one often. I guess he'll have to go to B&N now. He'll never convert to digital

I can't believe there was a book store based in Alabama.

Same here. You can’t see it from the street and it’s in an odd location. I never see anyone in there.

You are right about not seeing it, the only reason I know it is there is because I can see it when I go to 5 Guys and it never seems to be busy at all.. At least the times when I go to 5 guys at that location.

You can’t see it because you’re in the car seat facing backwards.

There's some big plans for the old Macy's at city place. Related Cos is putting some "experience" in that huge retail space
