The Barnes & Noble in North Charleston, S.C., will close early next year, likely in February, according to the Post and Courier. The 25,046-sq.-ft. space in the Northwoods Marketplace Shopping Center is being taken over by discount grocery chain Aldi, which has more than 11,000 stores in 20 countries and has been expanding in the U.S.
With the closing of the North Charleston store, B&N will have two stores in the Charleston area, in Mount Pleasant and West Ashley.
