The Barnes & Noble on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis, Minn., is closing this spring, the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal reported. B&N isn't renewing the store's lease, which runs through May. B&N opened the 25,100-square-foot location in 1994.
Late last year, B&N opened its second new concept store, in Edina, Minn., a Twin Cities suburb. That store, which includes a full-service restaurant, has some 21,500 square feet of space.
