I live about halfway between Tampa and Orlando. The nearest B&N is in Tampa which is about 40 miles and the nearest one in Orlando is about 45 miles away.
I have no idea why B&N shut our store down. Every time I went, it was always busy. Even a month before the shutdown, the store manager said they weren't going anywhere when the local newspaper posted an article the store was closing.
