On July 23, Barnes & Noble will open its new bookstore in the Shops at Abilene at 3417 Catclaw Dr., Abilene, Tex. Author Monica Garner is cutting the ribbon and signing copies of her book, Summer on Cape May (Kensington). The 20,000-square-foot store also features a B&N Café.
"We are very pleased to open this beautiful new Barnes & Noble in Abilene," B&N said. "Texas hosts more Barnes & Noble bookstores than any other state--and yet the nearest to Abilene is over 150 miles away. We are proud to add Abilene to the new fleet of Barnes & Noble bookstores we are opening across the country."
