We are thrilled to spotlight some of the most iconic awnings in East Memphis – at Worlds Away on South Perkins.

When Bob Berry at Worlds Away noticed their existing awnings needed replacement, he turned to Parasol Awnings, a trusted partner from past projects. “Scott was extremely easy to work with—he listened to my needs and had a quote ready within hours,” Bob shared.

The vibrant new striped fabric awnings are primarily decorative but have already garnered dozens of compliments for their striking colors and design. Located in an up-and-coming area for designers and home décor, Worlds Away is excited about their new location and all it has to offer.

And, Parasol Awnings is excited to have a part in creating this new look for our valued client.

A New Chapter for Burke’s Book Store

To celebrate their 150th anniversary, Burke’s Book Store in Memphis has refreshed their storefront with a brand new awning. Parasol Awnings is proud to have been part of it!

The previous awning, originally installed by Parasol Awnings in 2007, had reached the end of its lifespan. For this milestone year, Burke’s wanted a new look that better aligned with their logo and shelving color – and that worked beautifully around the existing tree canopy.

The store owners tell us “2025 marks the 150th anniversary of Burke’s Book Store. The shop was in the Burke family for three generations before changing hands in the mid-1970s, and we’re now in our fourth location. To celebrate this milestone, we held a fundraiser to support building improvement. Replacing the awning was our top priority!”

“Everyone loves it!”

Since sharing photos on social media, they’ve received a wave of compliments on the updated design, new color, and carefully placed lettering that catches the eye from multiple directions.

Our connection with Burke’s goes back decades, even to their old location on Poplar where Parasol installed awnings in the late 1980s. It’s always a joy to work with returning clients who value thoughtful design and lasting quality.

We’re honored to help Burke’s mark 150 years in business with an upgrade that will welcome readers for many more to come.

Thinking about a new awning?

Burke’s co-owner, Cheryl Mesler’s, advice: “Look at the building from all angles to figure out how best to apply lettering.” A small detail can make a big difference.

We’re excited to highlight a recent canopy project for Covington First United Methodist Church in Covington, TN. These durable metal canopies with sturdy posts provide continuous covered walkways between buildings, ensuring year-round protection from the elements. Designed for both function and aesthetics, the canopies enhance accessibility while complementing the church’s architecture.

The drive up area is covered with a cantilevered canopy to keep the children dry at drop off and pick up at the newly opened nursery school. Whether rain or shine, members and visitors can now move between spaces comfortably. If you’re considering a similar solution for your facility, we’d love to help bring your vision to life.
