According to the company’s website, a new brick-and-mortar Barnes and Noble location is set to open at the Shops at Town & Country, 2011 E. Camelback Road, Suite C12 (in the former Forever 21 space) on June 25. In addition to books, the expansive space will include a café, toys and games and an expanded selection of vinyl.
In 1971, bookseller Leonard Riggio acquired the Barnes & Noble trade name and flagship bookstore in Manhattan, merging it with his own bookselling business. Within a few years, he had grown the Barnes & Noble Fifth Avenue store in New York City into “The World’s Largest Bookstore,” with 150,000 textbook and trade titles. Since that time, the company acquired B. Dalton Bookseller, Borders and Waldenbooks, among others, and became publicly traded in 1993.
In August of 2019, Barnes & Noble was acquired by Elliott Advisors (UK) Limited and taken private. At present, the company serves over 600 communities in all 50 states.
