Barnes & Noble will close its bookstore in Towson, Md., at the end of May. The Baltimore Sun reported that the store is located at Towson Circle, which will be redeveloped by owner Retail Properties of America Inc. B&N had been expected to stay, but to occupy one level instead of two.
"The property is going through a major redevelopment, which would not allow for us to remain in place during the construction," said David Deason, B&N v-p of development, adding that the company's stores in Pikesville, White Marsh and at the Power Plant in downtown Baltimore will remain open.
