Barnes & Noble plans to open a store in West Lebanon, N.H., according to Valley News. Until 2018, B&N College, a separate company from B&N, managed the Dartmouth Bookstore in nearby Hanover. Otherwise B&N recently has had no presence in the area known as the Upper Valley.
The new B&N will be on Route 12A, in a spot that was once the site of a Party City location. The B&N store will have 10,000 square feet of space and stock about 30,000 titles.
Janine Flanigan, director of store planning and design at B&N, told Valley News that the company is "targeting early August" for opening.
