Author Amber Clement to Host Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony and Book Signing at the Grand Opening at 10AM on Wednesday, November 13, 2024

Schererville, IN - November 6, 2024 - Barnes & Noble is thrilled to announce the opening of its new Schererville bookstore on Wednesday, November 13^th. The new Barnes & Noble is located in the Town Square Shopping Center (124 US Hwy 41, Schererville, IN 46375) in the space formerly occupied by Bed Bath & Beyond, next to Bath & Body Works and near Whole Foods.

The new Barnes & Noble will officially open to the public at 10AM CST on Wednesday the 13^th, with author Amber Clement cutting the ribbons and signing copies of her books. The bookstore showcases the highly lauded design seen in the most recent Barnes & Noble store openings, featuring all the best books, toys, games and gifts that customers have come to expect from the nation's premier bookseller. The bookstore will also house an updated B&N Café.

Additionally, Barnes & Noble has partnered with Sub Pop Records to offer a free collectible tote bag to customers who purchase any Sub Pop CDs or vinyl records, while supplies last. On the day of the grand opening, two lucky Sub Pop purchasers will be surprised with a free limited edition color variant vinyl LP.

"We are very pleased to open our doors just in time for the height of the holiday shopping season," said James Daunt, CEO of Barnes & Noble. "The Schererville booksellers have been hard at work filling the shelves and look forward to welcoming customers into their beautiful new Barnes & Noble."

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 2023, 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 2024.

The new Schererville location is one of twelve new Barnes & Noble bookstores to open in November, alongside stores in NY, FL, NH, UT, KS, CA, NJ, and Washington D.C. Each grand opening has drawn enthusiastic crowds that wrap around the building, filling the store as the ribbon is cut.

"We have received an overwhelming response from the community," said Store Manager Samantha Snapp. "Our team can't wait to help our customers find treasures in this brand-new bookstore curated especially for Schererville!"
