yes most likely...of course maybe the Nook is part of the problem? BN is also suffering with those prime lease locations...I bet their landlords are taking a beating right now, as well.....
Call me old fashioned. I like books without batteries.
Have no sympathy for the lefty groups / outfits that want to shove socialism in our faces. Notice every time you go into those BN stores - the lefty authors are all in prominent places? That’s why I stopped going there. I will NOT promote or support left leaning in your face stores.
It’s kind of like the lefty newspapers all going down hill or look at the success of the liberal talk show hosts. All I can say is HA HA. you reap what you sow. How foolish for these folks to think conservatives will continue to support such dribble.
B&N in Huntington L.I. just closed because the landlord felt some other business would be more profitable and more likely to pay higher rents.The store was always busy, but that wasn’t enough.
B&N invested a lot of capital in redesigning and rebuilding its stores five years ago in the NY/NJ area. Couple the notes owed on that project with the economic decline and the competition of Amazon and the future looks poor. Too bad. I like my Nook color a lot, and I,being retired, love using the store’s cafe as a library with good coffee. But it is very hard to compete against an entity with no physical overhead like Amazon.
