2nd & Charles

2nd & Charles is a used entertainment superstore that offers one of the best browsing experiences in Huntsville for kids and teens who love books, video games, comics, or movies. The store buys, sells, and trades used books, graphic novels, comics, video games, DVDs, Blu-rays, and music, which means the inventory is constantly rotating and there is almost always something new to find.

For families, the real draw is value. Used books — including popular kids series, graphic novels, and young adult titles — are priced well below retail, and the trade-in system means you can bring in items the kids have outgrown and walk out with new-to-them replacements for very little out of pocket.

Kids who are into video games will appreciate the selection of used titles across multiple platforms at prices that make it easier to let them experiment with genres without the full retail commitment. The comics and graphic novel section is another highlight for older kids and teens.

The store is large, which means visits can run long if the kids are really into the categories covered. It is a great destination for a rainy afternoon in Huntsville when you want somewhere the kids can browse independently at their own pace.

Huntsville parents often cite 2nd & Charles as a go-to stop for keeping the kids stocked in reading material affordably, especially during summer when kids blow through books quickly.
