Always a great experience here. My Wife and I always enjoy this B&N.The staff is always friendly and helpful. If they do not have the book you are looking for, they will order it. I even find books I can't put down, and I'm a non-reader ☺️ .

Typical Barnes and Noble. It's a great place to relax and look for eye catching reading material. Their inventory consists mainly of mass appeal literature. I couldn't find most of the authors I listen to on audiobook format. They have Starbucks inside and a nook area that fills up with sippers who just sit and stare. I did find some nice items in the back after a quick walk throughout the store. Checkout was a breeze and the cashier was kind.

What book store does get 5 stars? Although I do wish they would bring back the comfy chairs and make b&n a nice hangout spot again. I get wanting to cut down on loitering but I would definitely be more apt to buy a book if I say down and read a bit of it first. I love being able to hang out with some books ❤️
