Barnes & Noble opens new York Town Center store on July 2
Features updated store design and B&N Café
Part of major national expansion with 60+ stores planned in 2025
Barnes & Noble is opening a new bookstore in York Town Center on July 2.
The new Barnes & Noble is located in York Town Center, 2935 Concord Rd., in the space formerly occupied by Christmas Tree Shops, next to Dick’s Sporting Goods. The new Barnes & Noble will officially open to the public at 9 a.m. July 2 with author Lucy Score cutting the ribbon and signing copies of her books.
“We are very pleased to be opening a beautiful, brand-new Barnes & Noble in York Town Center,” James Daunt, CEO of Barnes & Noble, said in a statement. “Our experienced booksellers have been filling the shelves with books tailored to their neighbors in York and look forward to welcoming customers into this impressive new Barnes & Noble.”
According to a release, the bookstore showcases the design seen in the most recent Barnes & Noble store openings, featuring books, toys, games and gifts. The bookstore will also house an updated B&N Café.
The York location is one of six new Barnes & Noble bookstores set to open in July, alongside new stores in Maryland, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Texas, and Virginia.
“We are thrilled to bring Barnes & Noble to the White Rose City,” said store manager Jeff Young. “We are excited to welcome the community to their new neighborhood bookstore.”
Barnes & Noble has been opening new stores following more than 15 years of declining store numbers. In 2024, Barnes & Noble opened more new bookstores in a single year than it had in the decade from 2009 to 2019. The bookseller expects to open over 60 new bookstores in 2025.
