I would think they’d be moving into the space vacated by whatever store used to near the elevator/stairs, but it looks like next to Sears, according to the layout at Glenbrooksquare.com
Tells you how often *I* get there (twice a year maybe).
It would seem the only spot LARGE enough to handle their inventory…damn shame though, as that’ll hurt Waldenbooks and B. Dalton in a HUGE way!
After THEY fold, we’ll probably get more trendy clothes stores for teens N tweens…(yay).
I’ll be over at Dick’s Sporting Goods in the meantime (ammo sales)…heh.

I’m glad I can go to Barnes & Noble without venturing over to the Southwest side of town. No offense, AWB.
…or eastbound Coliseum
Any chance they could fit your new baseball stadium inside Barnes & Noble?
What the story doesn’t include is that in addition to putting a perfectly good Barnes&Noble on Coliseum Blvd (near a perfectly good Borders), they’re going to put both a Barnes&Noble and a Borders into a mixed-use complex downtown.
