Barnes & Noble is opening new stores tomorrow in Lake Orion, Mich.; Denham Springs, La.; and Conroe, Tex.
The Lake Orion store is located in Baldwin Commons at 4852 South Baldwin Rd., in a space formerly occupied by Nordstrom Rack. The store will officially open 10 a.m. Wednesday morning with a ribbon cutting and signing featuring YouTuber and author Fritz, also known as Old Time Hawkey. Fritz will be signing copies of his cookbook Old Time Hawkey's Recipes from the Cedar Swamp.
The Denham Springs store resides in the Juban Crossing shopping center at 10129 Crossing Way, in a space that previously housed a Bed Bath & Beyond. Author Greg Iles and superintendent Jody Purvis will preside over the opening ceremony and ribbon cutting, scheduled for 10 a.m.
The Conroe location can be found in the Conroe Marketplace at 2920 Interstate 45N, in a space that once held a Bed Bath & Beyond. At 10 a.m., author Kacy Ritter will cut the ribbon before signing copies of her book The Great Texas Dragon Race.
All three of the new stores feature B&N's updated design as well as a B&N cafe. Five new B&N stores have opened in July, and the company expects to open more than 50 this year.
