I’m hearing from a very good source that a Barnes and Noble bookstore is looking to come to the building where Total Wine is located. Waiting on confirmation but I think they would do very well there!
Barnes and Noble is slowing reemerging on the DC scene with relatively recent (re) openings in Georgetown (2024) and Penn Quarter (January 2026.)
STAY TUNED.
