Barnes & Noble is opening new stores in Rockwall and Prosper, Tex., and closing one in Plano, Tex., Culture Map Dallas reported.
The Rockwall store is slated to open in late summer at 1009 E I-30, in a space that previously housed a Staples store. The Prosper store, meanwhile, will open in the fall at 1191 Gates Pkwy., in a new development called Gates of Prosper. Both will be about 20,000 square feet and have cafes.
The Plano store, at 801 W. 15th St., closed on Sunday, June 15. A B&N spokesperson told Culture Map that it was an older and larger model of store; the company's recent openings have focused on stores with smaller footprints.
