Barnes & Noble will open a new store in Atlanta, Ga., this coming Wednesday, July 8. Located at 1205 Caroline St. NE in the Edgewood Retail District, the store will span 15,000 square feet and include a B&N Cafe. Author Tayari Jones will be on hand July 8 to preside over the ribbon cutting and will sign copies of her book Kin (Knopf).
The new store replaces a B&N that closed in the Edgewood Retail District in 2022. It is one of two new B&Ns to open this month, and it is the first B&N store to open in Atlanta this year. Two more will open in the coming months, one in Toco Hills and one in Peachtree Corners, and B&N plans to open more than 60 new stores nationwide this year.
