The new concept B&N has opened...

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.

Books, beer and BBQ. That doesn't sound very well thought out.
I see a potential mess.

I think they want you to read on the Nook. Too bad it's not waterproof!

The current Nook (Glowlight Plus) is waterproof. And beer proof, I suspect.

Is "retail-tainment" really a word, now? That might be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

I'm calling dibs on an electronics-boutique slash dinner-theater franchise right now.

Improv comedy/auto-parts store anyone? No, wait. Wait. A banking bordello?

Frankly, I'd be stunned if bordellos didn't have at least an ATM.

This has to be one of the worst ideas I've ever heard. If there are any shareholders left they should sue the board for negligence.

Hey, you are in the area. Why don't you go check them out and let us know your impressions. Note: you do not have to actually eat there.

I will be heading downtown for a ballet on Friday. But going to the Galleria at Christmas time... just not sure I'm that crazy... We shall see.

What other Galleria is there?
I know we have the Mall of the Americas in Minnesota.

Cancel stupid question. I googled.
I saw beer and brisket and immediately thought Texas.
