Books, beer, and brisket as Barnes & Noble reopens in the Galleria
Quote:
Barnes & Noble Inc. will open its new-concept store in the Galleria Tuesday, one with a full-service restaurant and bar aimed at getting people to stay longer.
The 21,500-square-foot store on the lower level replaces a 38,000-square-foot store in the upscale mall in Edina.
“It’s clear the community wants retail-tainment,” said David Deason, vice president of development for Barnes & Noble. “It’s more conversational and more customer-focused.”
The 100-seat cafe, restaurant and bar serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with prices ranging from $5 to $7 for sides such as tabbouleh and potato purée to $16 to $26 for a brisket burger or slow-cooked short ribs.
