Barnes & Noble Opens New Store in Mooresville

Barnes & Noble is thrilled to announce the opening of its new Mooresville bookstore on Wednesday May 8^th. The new Barnes & Noble is located at the Mooresville Crossing (611 River Highway, Mooresville, NC 28117) in the space formerly occupied by Petco, next to Staples and Ulta and near Old Navy and Bed Bath & Beyond.

The bookstore will officially open to the public at 9AM EDT on Wednesday the 8^th with author Megan Miranda cutting the ribbon and signing copies of her books including All the Missing Girls and The Last House Guest. The new location showcases the highly lauded bookstore design seen in the most recent Barnes & Noble store openings, housing all the best books, toys, games and gifts that customers have come to expect from the nation’s premier bookseller. The bookstore will also house an updated B&N Café.

“Bookstores are beacons of community,” said James Daunt, CEO, Barnes & Noble. “It’s no easy task to create unique experiences that cater to readers’ individual interests, as Jason Dill and his team of booksellers have done here in Mooresville. We are very pleased to be expanding our footprint in the Lake Norman region as we continue to grow our list of stunning new bookstores opening this year.”

Barnes & Noble is enjoying a period of tremendous growth as the strategy to hand control of each bookstore to its local booksellers has proven so successful. The bookseller is experiencing exceptionally strong sales in its existing stores and has been opening many new stores after more than 15 years of declining store numbers. In 2023, Barnes & Noble opened more new bookstores in a single year than it had in the whole decade from 2009 to 2019. The bookseller expects to open over 50 new bookstores in 2024.

The Mooresville location is one of six new Barnes & Noble bookstores to open in May, with openings soon coming in South Portland, ME; Chicago, IL; and Sandy, UT. Each grand opening has drawn enthusiastic crowds that wrap around the building, filling the store as the ribbon is cut.

“We could not be more excited to open this brand-new bookstore in our neighborhood,” said Jason Dill, Store Manager. “Our team has been busy building an assortment that appeals our community, and we can’t wait to welcome readers into their new Mooresville Barnes & Noble.”
