Barnes & Noble Closing Stores in NYC, Illinois with Plans to Reopen Nearby

B&N Tribeca

Two Barnes & Noble stores, in New York City and Naperville, Ill., are closing in the next few weeks. In New York, B&N is seeking a new spot nearby. In Naperville, the company is reopening in a neighboring town.

The 40,000-square-feet Tribeca store at Greenwich and Warren Streets, which opened in 2007, is closing on January 14, according to the Tribeca Citizen. In an Instagram post to customers, B&N said in part, "We've loved being a part of this neighborhood and are doing everything we can to find a new location." B&N has four other stores in Manhattan. The landlord is apparently redeveloping the space.

B&N is also closing its Naperville, Ill., store January 21, and is in the process of opening a 16,000-square-feet store and café in nearby Oswego, in the Prairie Market Shopping Center. Renovations begin this month, and the new store should open this spring, the Daily Herald reported. The Naperville store opened in 1998.
