Barnes & Noble will close its location in Arlington Heights, Ill., May 28 after 16 years in business. Store manager Aubreey Medrano told the Daily Herald that corporate officials have not informed her of the reason for the decision. B&N's lease for the 24,000-square-foot space expires in June.
"We enjoyed serving our customers there and invite them to visit one of the many nearby Barnes & Noble locations for the same great service and selection," said David Deason, the company's v-p of development. B&N operates bookstores in Deer Park Town Center and Woodfield Plaza Shopping Center in Schaumburg.
