After a 10-year absence, Barnes & Noble has returned to Kenwood, Ohio, near Cincinnati, fox19.com reported. The new B&N is in the Kenwood Collection; the earlier B&N was in Sycamore Plaza at Kenwood and closed at the end of 2013.
B&N senior director Janine Flanigan told the station that the store had been successful and was one of many locations "we should look to go back to."
B&N is closing a store in Antioch, Calif., this year but opening a new store in Brentwood, about two miles away, according to KRON.
B&N has had the Antioch store in Slatten Ranch Shopping Center for more than 20 years but will close it likely in the fall. The new store in Brentwood at The Streets of Brentwood shopping center will have 21,000 square feet and feature the company's new design and format.
No firm closing and opening dates have been set, but a B&N spokesperson told KRON: "If all goes according to plan, the closing of Antioch will coincide with the opening of Brentwood."
