Barnes & Noble's ongoing growth stands out this year as it opens 32 new stores, surpassing its goal for 2023, signaling a resurgence of brick-and-mortar retail.
The company's resurgence is part of a broader trend with independent bookstores doubling in membership since 2016, indicating a renewed interest in physical books.
Barnes & Noble is on track to open 58 new locations before 2025, the most in a single year since at least 2009, showcasing a significant recovery.
In an age dominated by online shopping, physical bookstores are thriving, thanks to online communities, Facebook book clubs, and the influence of platforms like TikTok.
