Bookstore: Davis-Kidd Booksellers
Location: Memphis, TN
Specialty: General
Recommended By: Carley Cianciolo
Position at the Store: PR & Events Coordinator

Founded in 1980 by two social workers, Karen Davis and Thelma Kidd, Davis-Kidd grew to three bookstores in Tennessee.

Our flagship store is in Nashville, capital of the state, center of the country music industry, and host to several academic communities. Davis-Kidd Nashville has been the hands-down winner among bookstores in "best of" polls by media outlets year after year.

Our second store was opened in 1985 in Memphis, the largest city in Tennessee and home of the Blues and Elvis. In 1996, a new, expanded Memphis store was opened just a few steps from the old location.

In 1997, Karen Davis and Thelma Kidd decided to retire from the business. It was crucial to Karen and Thelma that their philosophy of bookselling continue. Neil and Mary Beth Van Uum, owners of Joseph-Beth Booksellers, having already drawn a tremendous amount of inspiration from this successful company, was the perfect candidate to take Davis-Kidd into the new century. Both Davis-Kidd and Joseph-Beth, located in Lexington, Kentucky and Cincinnati , Ohio shared the same basic philosophy of outstanding customer service. So, in October, 1997, the Davis-Kidd stores became a part of The Joseph-Beth Group.
