In 1968 Sangster's Book Stores finally settled down at 97 Harbour Street after acquisition of own premises. The store had over 5,400 square feet and stocked a wide range of books in the Caribbean and South America. This was one of the first fully air-conditioned stores in Jamaica.

Sangster's was one of the first business who seriously considered taking their service uptown, so in 1951, premises was acquired at 114 Old Hope Road where Sangster's opened its doors to serve the growing suburban population of Liguanea .
