The 3 in my region still exist.
Just found out our store is closing. Not really surprised every store in the state is doing poorly.
Still exists but a shell of its former glory. When the Riggios bailed they took the culture and reputation with them.
Alive and well. 48 stores opening. 10 stores on the Paper Source side. Don't let the Amazon trolls scare you. Bezos is too busy cheating in business and on his family.
They still exist. They just haven’t been relevant for a good 5-6 years now.
I hear they are barely surviving and the new smaller stores aren't getting the traffic or sales they had hoped for. Things have really changed with this company and not for the better.
I was worried about the BN stores here in my big city, but they seem to be doing fine. I bought a new book there in June on its first day of release, and just did the same thing again this week. The stores have a cleaner clutter-free layout and I easily found what I wanted. I retain a timid sense of optimism, especially since last December was supposed to be THE END of everything and here it is August and they're still going. Don't quite know what to make of it.
Yes. The Ventura California store is outstanding. Great staff, always helpful, and well stocked.
