“Home run of a book store. My wife found 2 new books that she was searching for. The woman working here was really helpful and friendly. She was also quite busy, but doing a great job of helping everyone who came in. By far the best book store we've been to in the st Louis area on our trip thus far.”
“Was in on 9/9/2026 around noon. The girls working today were following my girlfriend and I around for a few. Not a big deal really. As we weren’t in to steal things. It is a smaller shop. With a couple places it would be easy to steal. So I get it completely. After picking up a few things. I placed them on the counter. As I was still looking. And didn’t want my hands full of items. Didn’t want to drop or break anything. This is when the girls working realized that we were not there to steal. And they went about the day for themselves. We were no longer being watched. When we went to the counter they were very friendly and pleasant to talk with. Spent about $200 in one shop. Truth is we were visiting for Tennessee. And had a list of shops to stop at. For our trip. And this one was not on the list. A similar shop down the road was. I’m so glad we stumbled across it though. After reading some of the other reviews though. I can honestly say we had a good experience this time. And we will be making plans to visit again. Hope it’s just as pleasant then.”
“Staff was kind, prices are high, inventory levels were good. Shopped for spirit wear, not books, so can't speak to the bookstore portion of it. Found something for everyone in our family and they even had decent inventory on mark downs.”
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.
