I recall seeing some model kits at a regional bookstore called Books-a-Million years ago as well as within the last few years. Usually some sort of Gundam or otherwise collectible model as opposed to a regular hobby shop selection.

They also had a very nice paper model, a Viking ship.  I bought one and it seems like a great kit at a super price.

I noticed that as well around December of last year.  I thought it was just something that they hoped to capitalize on during the holidays.

Good to hear.  I guess they fall under "quiet things to do on a rainy day"?  Much like the rest of the store.

Stopped by my local Barnes and Noble the other day, and they had Airfix models (2 planes and a tank) and a few Gundam models. Now that's interesting, not use to seeing existing retailers add models to their mix. It's mostly the other way around  in the past 2 decades.
