Executive Summary
Originally built in 1911 and fully renovated in 2019, this offering includes both an established independent bookstore business and a multi-level commercial property positioned in the heart of Downtown McDonough.

Generating approximately $433,338 in annual revenue for 2025, the business benefits from an engaged customer base, repeat visitation, and a loyal community following developed over years of operation.

The flexible layout supports retail operations, event programming, hospitality use, and additional experiential concepts, creating multiple revenue opportunities within a single asset.

The business and real estate may be acquired together or separately, creating flexibility for owner-operators, investors, or buyers seeking either an established operating concept, a character-rich commercial asset, or both. Inventory and equipment are also available separately from the sale.
