Barnes&Noble grand opening @ 1556 Third Ave (@ E87th St), July 19
https://eastsidefeed.com/shopping/ba...t-side-return/
EXCERPT: In March, NPR highlighted Barnes & Noble’s remarkable turnaround as the company now plans to open 30 new stores this year. In several cases, B & N is returning to areas it had previously abandoned, and even taking over a few former Amazon bookshop locations. Turns out B & N’s biggest strategy change came from taking a page used by independent bookshops. Now, the company is empowering their local Barnes & Noble shops to order books based on the preferences of their local readers. Last edited by Froide; 07-13-2023 at 10:24 AM. |

I'm glad to hear it. I was in a B&N last week. I've always enjoyed browsing their shelves.

In our store the former audio/ video section is full of toys.
YMMV |

In my B&N, they pulled the audio/video and filled it with books. They moved the mysteries down there and shuffled books around upstairs making room for ever-expanding manga section. Last edited by ZodWallop; 07-28-2023 at 12:00 AM. |

That store doesn't have an upstairs. They didn't even bother to take down the signs marking the video and audio sections before they filled it with toys. The science book shelf is less than half the size it was, and crammed into a back corner. The NOOKs they had on display had dead batteries. I would hope any franchise store would exert a minimum of quality control. If B&N has any such thing, it never reaches that shop. I have no reason to go there ever again. |
