Barnes & Noble — Local services in Flower Mound

Very disappointed with the reopening of this store. The Highland Village location was my favorite B&N in the entire DFW metroplex. I knew this new location would be an updated look/feel/brand and a bit of a downsize and of course I understood that. However, I was not prepared for what I walked into. This new location is a little cramped, as a book lover that doesn’t really bother me, but the space dedicated to each genre is not at all equal and a little confusing to me.

I mainly read adult science fiction and fantasy, and there was a whopping one combined book case of these genres. It was so different from the previous store I felt a little lost and a lot confused. Even still, I tried my best to do some book shopping but found many incomplete series, small collections of books from best sellers + an oddly curious selection of authors. I left feeling there was no real thought to the sci-fi/fantasy selection other than “new releases.” A small example, Stacy McEwan’s Chasm was recently released and featured in the new releases Fantasy section, it’s the second book of a new series. This title piqued my interest; however, the one book case of sci-fi/fantasy didn’t have any space for the first book of that Stacy McEwan series. Most of the “m” in the alpha a-z organization was (of course) dedicated mostly to George R.R. Martin and Sarah J. Maas.

As a sci-fi and fantasy reader, I used to go to B&N to FIND new reads and new authors, now it seems only appropriate to go there to pick up very recent releases, which as an avid reader and book shopper is very disappointing.

I know B&N locations change their layout and selection frequently so I’ll definitely be back, but this one hurt. I don’t want to only browse /shop...

I am not an avid reader, so I’ll admit that it was national Puzzle month that got me in to the new Barnes & Noble location in Flower Mound.

I was so pleased with the layout of the new store. The previous store felt way too big and overwhelming. This new store was well lit anond very organized. The store is very inviting and cozy, and the layout makes it easy to find whatever what you are looking for. The employees were friendly and informative, and you can tell that they are proud of this new store.

The employee who helped me check out, even took the time to explain their free rewards program, and her help was much appreciated. The new location also has much easier parking, with plenty of spaces just outside their front door.

Whether you’re looking for a good book, the perfect gift, or in my case, a new puzzle, the new Barnes & Noble will make your shopping experience a very...

I see reviews complaining about the smaller footprint of the store and the lack of seating and a cafe. What did you expect ? They were forced out of their previous larger location because the landlord over there wanted a Cheesecake Factory. They still wanted to stay in roughly the same area and this was the best space available. Maybe instead of having unrealistic expectations that this new location would be EXACTLY the same as the previous large sized space, be happy that we still have an actual bookstore in this area. Without Barnes and Noble there are no other legitimate places to buy books. Just stores that offer 2-3 rows with extremely limited selection (Target, Walmart). I love libraries and bookstores and am thankful for this location. Thank you Barnes and Noble for being committed to keeping a presence in...
