New Barnes & Noble to Open in July
May 7th, 2010 | Category: Noteworthy
Talk about an expansion: In early July, the much-anticipated Barnes & Noble College Booksellers Superstore will open at Mount Royal Avenue and West Oliver Street as part of the Fitzgerald at UB Midtown residential/retail site. The first Barnes & Noble “college superstore” in the University System of Maryland, the new store is four times as large as the current UB bookstore. The store will carry 20,000-25,000 popular titles—best-sellers, how-to publications, fine literature and more—and will also feature a nearly 50 percent increase in the amount of square footage dedicated to UB merchandise and textbooks, a Starbucks cafe with free Wi-Fi and outdoor seating, and events such as book signings and children’s story times.
Yay, I can’t wait.
