To say that 2025’s been busy at The Village at Meridian may be one of the biggest understatements of the year. From restaurants to retailers, the outdoor shopping area has welcomed a handful of new tenants. One of The Village’s most anticipated new retailers just confirmed its opening day!
Earlier this year, we told you that the space once occupied by Gordman’s was being divided into two suites. Nordstrom confirmed that they were turning one of those suites into the Treasure Valley’s second Nordstrom Rack store. Shortly after, Barnes and Noble added a Meridian location to their website and listed “October 2025” as their opening target date.
Crews did a fantastic job of keeping the project on schedule and the new bookstore has confirmed that their opening day will be Wednesday, October 15 at 10 a.m. They’ve got a full slate in-store events scheduled to introduce the Barnes and Noble brand to Meridian shoppers.
Local author Raegan Fordemwalt will be part of the ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday and stick around for a book signing, meet-and-greet event afterward. On Thursday, October 16 they’re hosting a board game demonstration of an exclusive Barnes & Noble edition of “A Place for All My Books.” Saturday morning, the new store is bringing in the star of Alyssa Satin Capucilli’s children’s series “Biscuit.” The costumed character will be there for a special storytime event at 11:00 a.m.
