About

Pomegranate Books is an independent bookstore run by avid readers in Wilmington, NC. We are located in the historic Borkenhagen House in the Winter Park neighborhood, where we have been finding good homes for great books since 2005. We stock a carefully selected collection of literary and life enhancing titles for all ages and feature locally made cards and gift items. We are the home of Zola Coffee & Tea.

Our goal is to provide a welcoming, cozy space where people can access community and share ideas,  and to share a love of reading and books.

Support Independent Bookstores

Independent bookstores reflect their city’s uniqueness and serve as hubs for local readers and members of the community to connect, convene, create, and exchange ideas. The impact on the local economy is crucial—studies indicate that for every $100 spent at a local business, $68 remains within the local economy, compared to a mere $43 when spent at a national chain.
