"We are so pleased to open our Spring bookstore just in time for the holiday season," said James Daunt, CEO of Barnes & Noble. "Our Spring booksellers are proud to welcome the neighborhood into their brand-new Barnes & Noble. Our booksellers across the country are excited to bring back bookstores to so many communities, with more are to come next year!" 

Barnes & Noble is enjoying a period of tremendous growth as the strategy to hand control of each bookstore to its local booksellers has proven so successful. The bookseller is experiencing strong sales in its existing stores and has been opening many new stores after 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 whole decade from 2009 to 2019. The bookseller expects to open over 60 new bookstores in 2025.

The Spring location is one of four new Barnes & Noble bookstores set to open in Texas in November, alongside ten other stores opening in California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Each grand opening has drawn enthusiastic crowds that wrap around the building, filling the store as the ribbon is cut.

The design of the Spring store showcases the ambition of Barnes & Noble to create exceptional local bookstores that marry the best traditions of independent bookselling with the resources of the historic chain. The new Spring Barnes & Noble will cover over 12,000 square feet and carry all the best books, as well as a wide range of toys, games and the usual paper and gifting items found at Barnes & Noble.

"I am beyond excited for the chance to open a new Barnes & Noble in Spring," said Store Manager Sarah Koopman, Barnes & Noble bookseller of 17 years. "The team and I look forward to welcoming our new community, in the northern suburbs of Houston, to our beautiful new store in the Grand Parkway lifestyle center."
