Barnes & Noble is having a (believe it or not) growth spurt
December 20, 2022
Amazon took a major bite out of the Barnes & Noble big box store empire, forcing the chain to reduce its size from a high of 726 locations 14 years ago down to about 600 presently. But management is bullish on expansion and is planning on a net 30 additional stores in 2023. B&N’s new locations, however, may be quite a bit smaller, depending on the locale and demand.
