Barnes & Noble Opens New Store in Burlingame

 Barnes & Noble is thrilled to announce the opening of its new Burlingame bookstore on Wednesday, October 11^th. This event marks the first new Barnes & Noble in the area since the opening of their San Bruno location in 2005. The new Barnes & Noble is located at 1232 Burlingame Ave next to Pottery Barn.

The bookstore will officially open to the public at 10AM ET on Wednesday the 11^th, with author Abigail Hing Wen cutting the ribbon and signing copies of her books. 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.

“To be opening new bookstores of all sizes at such a pace would have been unthinkable just a few years ago,” said James Daunt, CEO, Barnes & Noble. “This new store has a unique footprint and maintains the time-tested formula of well stocked bookstores staffed by excellent booksellers. This year we have had much to celebrate and bringing this stunning new Barnes & Noble to the Burlingame community is high on the list.”

Barnes & Noble is enjoying a period of tremendous growth as the strategy to hand control of each bookstore to its manager has proven so successful. The bookseller is enjoying exceptionally strong sales in its existing stores and has been opening many new stores after over 15 years of declining store numbers. In 2022, 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 30 new bookstores in 2023.

“The Avenue is the social center of this city, and our bookselling team has been hard at work creating a beautiful bookstore to complement and enhance its unique small-town atmosphere,” said Store Manager Danielle Cardona, Barnes & Noble bookseller of 16 years. “A bookstore is more than just a place to buy books, and we look forward to being a community hub. We are beyond excited to be a part of bringing a new Barnes & Noble to Burlingame.”
