Grahamstown's Bargain Books shop has had a terrific start to the new year by earning the franchise's Shop of the Year Award for 2012.
The Pepper Grove Mall branch was recognised as one of last year's top three sales performers, based on the percentage growth in sales from year to year.
Store manager Adriana Mosey said they were very happy to receive the award and attributed the success to team work.
Mosey said she and her team basically took over a severely neglected store last February and have since grown its sales by over 50%.
"In a nutshell the store's success is all about customer service, a passion for books and positive energy," she said.
