“Love this store! The staff was extremely friendly and the variety was vast. It was well organized and had a little of everything. I look forward to visiting this location in the future.”
“Hi, I had a wonderful session tarot reading with Erika M….very nice, wonderful and impressive lady person….after long time ago ,I felt so happiness have found Her…very happy when the session was done….Her talent Her intuitive is unique….Now Erika has on Me a client, and friendship…”
“well curated books that matter, books that inspire, books that are personally recommenced, and a eye-opening section of books that are banned (somewhere, but gratefully NOT here)!”
“This Barnes and Noble location is huge and the staff is incredible. It feels spacious and seems to have more overall than the store at UTC. There is a whole kids toy/art/learning area on top of the very large kids section. Spent some time in here on a Saturday and the staff was so kind and willing to help us find what we were looking for as well as make some recommendations.”
“They have a extensive range of art supplies. It is a little bit more expensive that Amazon but if you need something rush and don't wanna wait for the delivery you can get pretty much anything you will need.”
“Dan was very kind and bubbly. He took the time to ensure I could find what I was looking for. Found these vintage aeronautics books is pristine condition and well priced! Will be back again soon.”
“first things first, this bookstore is amazing. not dusty, not stale smelling, and is nicely lit. the lady at the front was kind and helpful. she escorted my 11-year-old to the kids/young adults section which was Harry Potter and just a few other selections. not much happening in the kids section, but there are many other sections that kids can enjoy like picture books/coffee table books. so, the books here are not bargain priced, at ALL. these are used books, but they are in excellent-to-unread condition, with prices that reflect their original msrp. all of the 6 books that we purchased (total cost $85 even with a "student discount" ) could have been purchased on eBay (specifically ThriftBooks) for a fraction of that cost. literally pennies on the dollar. a couple of the books weren't priced yet and the prices she wrote in on the spot seemed strategically high...like, tourist trap high. but, as tourists, the experience of browsing through these endless aisles of meticulously arranged old books for an hour was worth the cost? ehhh, not really, lol I'd suggest stepping in to browse, perhaps buy 1 book or maybe two just for the heck of it but don't do what we did and load up on these over-priced previously owned books especially if the books you choose don't already have prices written in the front cover.”
“Such a beautiful bookstore, we enjoyed the large children’s section. Both our kids found books they loved, perfect for road trips. The adult section was located beside the children’s section and was wide open which was convenient for the whole family to browse our own interests independently.”
“Looks small and almost run down on the outside but it's a really nice little college bookstore.It is very nice inside and has lots of supplies, books and merchandise. The staff were very helpful and answered any questions I had about online orders, and course materials that we're included with my classes. It's definitely overpriced but all college bookstores are.Very good experience overall.”
Barnes & Noble is proving that physical bookstores aren't going anywhere. The retailer just opened three new locations across Texas and South Carolina, marking another step in its comeback story. Barnes & Noble opened 57 stores in 2024 alone - more than it had opened in the entire decade from 2009 to 2019. The company isn't slowing down either, with plans to open more than 60 new stores in 2025 and a goal of reaching over 1,000 stores nationwide in the coming years.
