A Barnes & Noble store in Bismarck, N.Dak., that closed late last month is reopening today in a temporary location in the Kirkwood Mall, the Bismarck Tribune reported.
The store has relocated because its previous landlord is redeveloping that shopping center and did not renew the store's lease. The new space is smaller and has no cafe, but the store has retained its staff of 22 full-time and nine part-time employees. While B&N has not announced anything specific, it plans to reopen in a new, permanent location sometime early next year.
B&N has had a location in Bismarck for 25 years, and operates stores in Fargo and Minot.
