Probably not many. Or at least I doubt that the inability to find anything had to do with the bookstore not being relevant to their local audience.

That's what I think would work for B&N.Smaller stores in malls/shopping centers/airports, places like that. Where I live there are three successful malls (or whatever you call those upscale outdoors shopping centers that are basically malls to me) and there's only one bookstore among them all.
