This will be a long one.
Yesterday, LifeWay announced that it will be closing all of its 170 stores this year due to online competition. We are sad to learn this. We are sad for the employees, the customers, and the communities which will no longer have a local store.
• • • • •
We want you to know that Logos Bookstore is still here ...maybe hanging on by our chipped and unpolished fingernails, but hanging on. 😉
We are doing our best to stay competitive.
• We match online prices.
• We have frequent buyer reward programs to earn gift certificates.
• We have a large selection of used books.
• We have a bargain books section.
• We imprint Bible covers.
• We have classic children’s books.
So, I think that many existing Christian bookstores are like mine. If we want to stay open, we have to listen to our customers and be flexible and do bookselling differently.
We do more than sell a book.
Amazon, Ollie’s, CBD... they treat books like commodities and book buyers are just a transaction. If that’s all you want from a book purchase, that’s fine.
But if you need community, recommendations, a listening ear; I invite you to try your local Christian Bookstore again.
There are still many of us little guys around.
Stop on by, if we don’t have want you want, LET US KNOW! We love to sell books... to match up authors & readers. If we don’t have it, we can usually get it in a day or two. ..I could go on & on...
Anyhow, we love you & we want you back... 😁❤️➕
And I’m willing to bribe you! 😂
Show us this post on your mobile device ... or print it out ... bring it to Logos Bookstore and get $5 off a $5 or more purchase!
Please feel free to share this post with friends, family, and church if you think that they might like to know that there is a store for them nearby!
Thank you! 💕
