Sad to see Books-A-Million leave Prattville and close altogether last month. It's never a good thing when a business leaves a community like this, let alone bookstores and libraries.

Books-A-Million is closing in Jackson: https://www.wlbt.com/2023/03/22/books-a-million-set-close-jackson-city-leaders-worried-about-tax-revenue/ Big loss for Jackson's bookworms and the city itself.

Honestly, I wish they just get it over with. It hurts to see it still there, being open. If it were to close earlier then we can mourn it faster too. Bookstores closing like this just doesn't sit right by me.

Sacramento Barnes & Noble on 3561 N Freeway Blvd in North Natomas closed a couple of days ago, supposedly there were disagreements over the lease they had on the building and they had some arguments with the landlord. I suppose B&N decided it wasn't... — read more 

Because I want to still buy workbooks from book stores and I also still want to buy disk videos there too and toys and Manga and mystery books

A foreign man was yelling into his phone while talking to someone. It was so loud I had to move my sitting. When I did a nee employee told me to turn my phone down which I did and explained it was that person yelling on the phone. She and a new... — read more 

Hello! Why did Barnes & Noble close in Colonie, NY at Colonie Center? Where can we find more information about this situation? My friends and I were completely shocked to hear about Barnes & Noble closing so abruptly. I'm still processing the... — read more 

Real sad that the Barnes and Noble on Gary Ave in Bloomingdale is not open anymore... I hate seeing their stores close like this. Both the customers and the workers alike deserve better than this.

I'm gutted. Had no clue it was closing down, I drove up there today and my jaw dropped to see that the building was no longer standing. Just a shell. Construction workers everywhere. This was my favorite book store, it was close and convenient and... — read more 

It's unfortunate that after 20 something years of operating that business it had to close rather unceremoniously last month on February 6th. I have my issues with Barnes & Noble but the store across 39th Street from Independence Center was great.

I had no idea this was even scheduled to shut down. (Closest B&N is now about 9-10 miles to the west in Montgomeryville, PA) I drove by, looks like it closed Jan. 3. The signage is gone. Dumpsters in the parking lot. This whole shopping center... — read more 

It closed last year.

What a great bookstore this was. I am so upset that they decided to close it. However, I can understand why they did it. It's very disheartening but I fear that the store just wasn't busy enough. That's always horrible to hear.

Are the "rumors" that the Barnes & Noble store in The Villages is to close down this year, true even remotely ?

Barnes & Noble will close on Granite Street in Braintree this Saturday which is such a shame. I assume it failed to produce the customers needed to keep a store going. I spent some time in that store. I would hate to see it go.

Last Saturday the Barnes & Nobles in downton Seattle's Pacific Place shopping center closed which leaves downtown Seattle without any general bookstores. That's kind of shameful, isn't it. Hopefully they will open a replacement ASAP.

Really, truly devastating to learn this. I was just saving some money to buy some books for my nieces and nephews and I just learned that the bookstore I was planning to go to is gone. Barnes and Noble swiftly closed their Crystal Lake, IL... — read more 

I know they're not everyone's favorite right now but my childhood nostalgia is too strong. I was always spending time in a Barnes and Noble as a kid so it's a bummer to me that their Westheimer Rd location in Houston, Tx has closed.

Barnes & Nobles will be leaving their location at Newport on the Levee in a couple of months. The exact date is September 7th. I don't feel too strongly about this occurrence, I stopped frequenting Barnes & Nobles a long time ago (personal reasons)... — read more 

Will miss the dvd sales. I still like handling things before I buy them, but thier prices just couldn't compare woth on-line.

I already said this elsewhere, but I won't be returning to them as a customer. While I wish that they would do better under new management, I do not think that any change in ownership is going to fix the mistakes Barnes & Noble made all up to this... — read more 

For all of the book lovers, Barnes & Nobles has reopened in Jacksonville’s Mall. Most of the shops in the mall were closed because of hurricane Florance, but now the stores are slowly opening up again. Currently, there are only three stores left... — read more 

The lease expires in Dec 2018. So this Hanover store will be no more in 2019.

One more on a growing list of Barnes & Noble stores that are closing this year. This time it's the one located on Route 9 in Howell. I guess Amazon claims another victim...

But they still run stores. Barnes & Noble may survive, they are committed.

But now I am more freaked out as the economy is really soft and I can totally see us having more and more problems in the future - Barnes & Noble used to be very stable and employee oriented company but things are changing now

I guess that's the big question - we'll see what happens

I am sure it's not closed but I am just puzzled where this Barnes and Noble may be. Good luck to all.

This B&N survived but in Irvine, we have many stores (e.g., Macy's) that will be closing or that have closed. I hope that Barns and Noble survives as books are important. However, some retailers will continue to struggle as more and more commerce is... — read more
