National Bookseller Is Moving Its Store At Livingston Mall To New Location

This article was updated on Jan. 22

LIVINGSTON, NJ — Another big-name tenant is bidding farewell to a struggling mall in North Jersey, reports say.

Barnes & Noble is relocating from its current space at the Livingston Mall to 530 West Mount Pleasant Avenue at the Livingston Shopping Center near Route 10.

The move was reportedly expected to take place in mid-to-late 2027. However, a spokesperson told Patch on Thursday that the relocation will take place in August 2026.

The bookseller’s new store will be located at a former Buy Buy Baby location, which housed a Spirit Halloween pop-up store last year.

The Livingston Mall has seen an exodus of big-name tenants over the past few years, with many shoppers reporting that the once-bustling shopping center is eerily vacant these days.

Recently, Macy’s confirmed it will be closing more than a dozen stores as part of its latest round of cuts, including its store at the Livingston Mall. The closure will take place “soon,” according to the company’s website, although no date is listed.
