Barnes & Noble will open a new store in Lexington, Ky., tomorrow, August 21.
Located within the Fayette Mall at 3401 Nicholasville Rd., the new store occupies a space that formerly housed a Gap Kids. It will officially open to the public at 10 a.m., and is one of seven new B&N stores opening in August. This year, the company plans to open more than 50 locations.
"We are pleased to be expanding our presence in Lexington with our new Fayette Mall bookstore," said B&N CEO James Daunt. "[Store manager] Jill Smith and her team, which includes experienced booksellers coming over from our Man-O-War bookstore, have been busy curating an assortment specifically built to cater to their community."
