Barnes & Noble closed its North Dale Mabry store in Tampa, Fla., earlier this month after 28 years in business, but plans to move into a new, larger space about a mile north and reopen early next year, the Business Observer reported.
A B&N spokesperson said the reason for the relocation is that the company was unable to renew its lease. The new store, which is scheduled to open next February, will be at 13123 N. Dale Mabry Highway, in the Palms of Carrollwood shopping center. The space has been vacant since last year.
