Barnes & Noble — Local services in Blue Springs

I’ve been going to this B&N since it opened, only because it’s the closest one to my home location. It’s good for a quick shop, but I like to roam the shelves and aisles. This location is small spacing within its cubicle like sections and no elbow space for a busy day, I find myself circling until the section I want is accessible because the two chairs are always in use. I love the workers, they’re always helpful and kind!

If you’re a magazine or music lover don’t bother coming to this location, it doesn’t have it unfortunately. You will still have to drive to the KC or KS locations.

*In my opinion, this small location can do without its huge corner of a gift section ( it’s ridiculous, it’s bigger than the romance section).

Being smaller, though, I found myself more interested in everything I saw, and I would have stayed longer to browse if I'd had time. I wish this location had more chairs, and I wish they would find some way to sell small cups of coffee as a little extra perk. I'll be...

The store itself is amazing! My daughter loves going there to pick her favorite books and see all the other items they have! She picked this store over all the other possibilities we have. However the staff could definitely use some customer service skills!! Not one of the many employees walking around asked us if they could help us find anything. One guy working there almost ran into my daughter like she was in his way! Such a shame! Hopefully, management can work on this and become a better...
