Barnes & Noble To Open New Bookstore In Meriden: Report

MERIDEN, CT — Barnes & Noble, the popular bookstore chain, will open a new store next year in Meriden's Townline Square shopping center, CT Insider reported.

The new store will occupy about 9,000 square feet, in a space that previously held a Pier One Imports, which closed in 2020.

Local officials had been working on luring Barnes & Noble to the city for almost a year, and welcomed the news.

The Meriden shop is slated to open in March.

Earlier this year, Barnes & Noble opened a 20,000 square foot store in the Danbury Fair Mall, and in 2021, the chain relocated its Westport store to a new site in the same town.
