Book lovers, rejoice! A new Barnes & Noble bookstore may be coming to a city near you this year.

After more than 15 years of declining store numbers, the American bookseller expects to open over 60 new locations across the country, following a period of "strong sales" in existing stores.

"Barnes & Noble is enjoying a period of tremendous growth as the strategy to hand control of each bookstore to its local booksellers has proven so successful," the bookseller said in a February news release. "In 2024, Barnes & Noble opened more new bookstores in a single year than it had in the whole decade from 2009 to 2019."

About a dozen stores — featuring the litany of books, toys, games and gifts that customers have come to expect from the nation’s premier bookseller — have opened since the beginning of 2025. Most, but not all, of the newly opened bookstores have a B&N Café.

Barnes & Noble did not immediately respond to Paste BN's request for comment on April 15.
