A new spot is quietly taking shape in Chattanooga’s Southside, and it’s already giving off the kind of charm you want to linger in. Pennington’s is more than just a bookstore—it’s a welcoming space where you can browse new and used books, sip coffee, discover local art, or simply hang out. While they’re currently in a soft opening phase, the vision is clear: a cozy, community-driven hub where stories, creativity, and connection come together. Shelves are still being filled, but that just adds to the excitement of watching something special grow from the ground up. There’s already talk of book clubs, music, story times, and even more food offerings on the way. 

Official Grand Opening

Date: April 11, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM

If you’re planning a visit, you’ll find the entrance on Washington Street, with free parking available nearby. Whether you’re a book lover, a coffee fan, or just looking for a laid-back place to spend an afternoon, Pennington’s is one of Scenic City’s most inviting new local gems to check out.
