Barnes & Noble Opens Northville, Michigan Superstore Changing America's Concept of the Neighborhood Bookstore
Business Wire, March 28, 1997
Barnes & Noble is the originator and premier operator of book superstores in America. Its flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York has been widely recognized as the most authoritative bookstore in the country, and perhaps, the world. Since 1965, the company has been owned and operated exclusively by booksellers. Len Riggio, later joined by his brother Steve, built the business from this location into what is now the nation's largest bookseller. The company takes pride in the experience of its long-standing management team and hundreds of booksellers who have been with the company for many years.
Barnes & Noble Inc. is the world's largest bookseller operating 435 Barnes & Noble bookstores and 574 B. Dalton bookstores nationwide. Barnes & Noble bookstores offer an authoritative selection of more than 175,000 titles from more than 10,000 publishers with an emphasis on small, independent publishers and university presses. The company publishes books under the Barnes & Noble imprint for exclusive sale through its retail stores and mail-order catalogs. Barnes & Noble is the exclusive bookseller on America Online's Marketplace and has plans to launch a World Wide Web site, operating the "world's largest bookseller online," shortly.
