Barnes & Noble will close its landmark Chateau Theatre store on the Peace Plaza in downtown Rochester, Minn., at the end of the year when its lease expires, the Post-Bulletin reported. David Deason, B&N's corporate v-p for development, confirmed Monday that the store will close December 31, adding: "The Chateau Theatre store was a special place for our booksellers and customers. We have enjoyed taking care of the space and our customers for more than 15 years, and we look forward to continuing to serve them at the nearby Apache Mall store."
