In the next few weeks, Barbara's Bookstore will open a 300-sq.-ft. space in the Macy's in Downtown Crossing, Boston, Mass., and will soon roll out sections in "dozens" of Macy's, the Boston Herald reported.
Barbara's co-owner Don Barliant told the Herald: "We have a project with Macy's in which we are bringing books back to the department stores."
Barbara's Bookstore first opened on Wells Street in Old Town in Chicago in the 1960s, and has expanded in the Chicago area and the Northeast to include branches in railroad stations, airports, office towers and a hospital. Barbara's has had a branch in Macy's in downtown Chicago for almost nine years.
