Completely random location to open up but they’re open daily from 10AM to 10PM even on weekends. They’ve got English and Arabic books, magazines and some stationary items. They also have a little seating area but it didn’t seem that cozy. Right now they’re running an offer where if you buy 3 books you get the 4th for free.
Here is their location on [Google Maps]

Yay!
We finally get a semi-respectable bookstore!
Think I saw a WH Smith at the airport recently….
Kindle……I save physical space and avoid stupid censorship laws.
yeah plus the kindle is great for impulse book buys. i’ve got so many books i haven’t read or even remember why i purchased.
I have the exact same problem…..every time I check out the amazon Kindle store i feel like I need an intervention….
Now THATS where I’m going today!
was at the avenues yesterday, i think there is another location opening there also
That area is rapidly developing actually. Went from having Tilal and like random shady Shuwaikh garages into having 6 extremely expensive flower shops, which is the most useful metric for determining development.
Tilal rent is extremely high so stores that couldn’t make it there moved right outside and the spillover is getting bigger. Kinda cool to see
Starbucks + Orchid Shops Per Capita
This is great, I’m glad when shops like these open up.
Waterstones would of been even better.
NOW we’re talkin’!
does anyone know what the phone number is for this branch ?
