Popular Bookstore Expands In Baltimore Co.

The Barnes & Noble bookseller chain is expanding its footprint in Baltimore County.

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Bookstore Barnes & Noble will be expanding its presence in the region, having signed on for a lease in the Lutherville-Timonium area.

The popular bookseller chain will be setting up shop at the planned Lutherville Station development.

It will be taking over the space once occupied by the former Borders bookstore, according to The Banner. Borders closed after the chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2011.

He further described the development as an "exciting step" for the Lutherville project.
