The Barnes & Noble at the Town Center in Virginia Beach, Va., is closing for renovation this Sunday, April 28, and will reopen in the late fall, according to Southside Daily.
B&N v-p of stores Frank Morabito said the company is renovating the store "to bring the community a redesigned store featuring a more curated book presentation to improve discovery, as well as new looks for our children's section and café."
The redesigned store, based on prototypes, will feature "a contemporary design" that includes lower-profile bookshelves to give customers a full view of the store for easy navigation. In addition, the redesigned children's section will have space for activities and crafts, and the store will also have an event space for author visits and other events.
