A big new Barnes & Noble will open in Austin on Wednesday, November 5, in Southpark Meadows. The 20,000-square-foot store at 9600 S. I-35 Frontage Rd. won’t just focus on books, but also toys, games, magazines, gifts, and more, according to a press release. It will also feature a B&N Café.
The first customers will be able to shop at Barnes & Noble at 10 am. The store will open with help from author Tracy Wolff, who is known for young adult fiction including the Crave series. She’ll cut the ribbon and sign copies of her books. Her latest is It Happened on a Sunday, released in early September.
The grand opening event will also offer $50 discounts on any Nook reading device, and a 40 percent discount on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4k Ultra HD movies. Barnes & Noble Premium and Rewards Members will get additional perks including double stamps on purchases during the grand opening, plus free hot coffee or tea…
