| B&N's interim location in Lehigh Valley Mall. | |
The Barnes & Noble store at the Lehigh Valley Mall in Whitehall, Pa., has been closed temporarily while undergoing a complete renovation, but a temporary store will open elsewhere in the mall on August 23, the Morning Call reported. B&N expects to reopen its original store, which launched in 2007 in the mall's Lifestyle Center, in spring 2024.
"The appetite this community has for books is no more apparent than in the aisles of our old Lehigh Valley Mall store, well-loved and shopworn in the 16 years since we first opened our doors," said Amy Fitzgerald, v-p of stores for B&N. "With this renovation we transform the bookstore with a warm and inviting new store design, along with a revamped B&N Café. Dramatic as this change will be, our focus remains the time-tested formula of well stocked bookstores staffed by excellent booksellers."
