Barnes & Noble Opens New Store in Estero
Author Trish Doller to Host Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony and Book Signing at the Grand Opening at 9AM on Wednesday, January 17th, 2024
New York, NY – January 10, 2024 – Barnes & Noble is thrilled to announce the opening of its new Estero bookstore on Wednesday, January 17th. The new Barnes & Noble is located in Coconut Point Plaza (8052 Mediterranean Drive, Estero, FL 33928) next to DSW and Ulta Beauty.
The bookstore will officially open to the public at 9AM ET on Wednesday the 17th, with author Trish Doller 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.
“As the end of our previous lease approached last March, we committed to finding a new home here in Coconut Point,” said James Daunt, CEO, Barnes & Noble. “Now we will open the doors to this beautiful new space, starting fresh in 2024. We are very pleased to remain in Coconut Point, and even more excited to do so in such a stunning new bookstore.”
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 enjoying exceptionally strong sales in its existing stores and has been opening many new stores after over 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 new Coconut Point store is one of two new Barnes & Noble bookstores opening on the 17th, alongside a new location in Ledgewood, NJ. Three additional new stores will be opening their doors within the month of January.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be back in service here in Coconut Point,” said Store Manager Shelia Berth, Barnes & Noble bookseller of 20 years. “Our booksellers have a real passion for what they do, and have been enthusiastic about setting up a bookstore with our local readers in mind. We can’t wait to welcome you into your new Coconut Point Barnes & Noble.”
