Barnes & Noble will debut a new store in Clark on Aug. 13.
The opening marks the return of the retailer to the Clark community after closing its former location in June of 2022. The space will offer close to 10,000 square feet of books, toys, games, magazines, gift items and more.
Located at 1255 Raritan Rd., next to L.A. Fitness, the bookstore will celebrate its opening with author Nisha Sharma cutting the ribbon and signing copies of her books, including Marriage & Masti: A Novel.
“We are very pleased to return to Clark,” James Daunt, CEO of Barnes & Noble said. “When our previous lease ended in 2022 we were determined to find a new location nearby. Now we open this beautiful new Barnes & Noble just half a mile from where we served this community for nearly 25 years. Our Clark booksellers are eager to welcome the community into their new Clark Barnes & Noble.”
The Clark location is one of five new Barnes & Noble bookstores set to open in August, alongside new stores in Kansas, Minnesota, Tennessee, and Texas.
The design of the Clark store showcases the ambition of Barnes & Noble to create exceptional local bookstores that marry the best traditions of independent bookselling with the resources of the historic chain.
“Clark, you have been asking for years, and we listened,” Store Manager Mary Iannaccone said. “We are thrilled to come back to your community and help you pick your next great read!”
