The brand new Barnes & Noble store at High Ridge Center will open on May 14th!

The store will be located at 1145 High Ridge Road, the former DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse space. The new store will feature 2 floors of books, a cafe area, an expanded vinyl section, and kid's toys & games.

Take a look at the sneak peek images from inside! The grand opening will feature meet & greets with authors including Greg Wands (author of Trust Issue), Tessa Wegert (author of Devils at the Door), and others to be announced soon!

This will be Stamford's second Barnes & Noble; the existing store at Stamford Town Center will remain open. The store will feature B&N's newest prototype including wood finishes, carpet, and more luxorious materials.
​
Barnes & Noble will open at least two more stores this year including Southbury (expected to open on June 4th) and Cheshire (expected to open this fall.) These new locations join Barnes & Noble's other 13 stores in Connecticut.
