Barnes & Noble will open a store this coming Wednesday, September 10, at Pasadena Crossroads, in Pasadena, Md., midway between Baltimore and Annapolis. The 14,000-square-foot store is next to Ulta in space formerly occupied by Party City. The official opening will feature a ribbon cutting and signing by author Brigid Kemmerer, whose most recent book is Warrior Princess Assassin (Avon).
The Pasadena location is one of three new Barnes & Noble bookstores set to open in September, including stores in Florida and Washington. It's the second B&N to open in Maryland in three months.
Store manager George Dressel, who has been a B&N bookseller for 23 years, said, "I am thrilled to be part of the team bringing Barnes & Noble to Pasadena. This is going to be the place where our community of book lovers unite."
