Franklin Mills to get a bookstore?
By Shannon McDonald
In a recent Northeast Times article, Franklin Mills Mall manager (and Washington High School alum) Joseph Binder, said he has been listening carefully to Northeast residents – particularly, those who like to read.
Binder mentioned that the outlet mall has been working on negotiations with a major book retailer. Though he can’t many more details, Binder also said he is in talks with a popular value store looking to take over the old Kay-Bee toy store location. These additions would join the 13 new stores that have come to the mall in the last two years.
