CNS News–Barnes & Noble’s Tribeca location in New York City is set to close its doors on January 14, 2024, marking the end of a 16-year tenure in the community. The closure, a result of the landlord’s decision to redevelop the property, has stirred emotions among patrons and staff alike.
The store’s farewell Instagram post, quoting Andy Bernard from “The Office,” reflects a nostalgic sentiment, acknowledging the significance of the store in the Tribeca neighborhood. The announcement has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with customers and authors expressing their sorrow and reminiscing about their experiences at the store.
Notably, author Andrea Bartz shared her fondness for the location, calling it the “end of an era.” Despite the closure, Barnes & Noble remains optimistic about its future in New York City. The company plans to find a new location in Tribeca and is actively engaging with its community through social media updates.
Barnes & Noble CEO James Daunt has expressed enthusiasm about the company’s growth and the engaging atmosphere of its stores. The bookseller has seen significant expansion, with over 30 new stores opened in 2023, and plans to inaugurate over 50 more in 2024.
