B&N temporarily closes 400 outlets but continues to offer curbside pickup for online orders

Mar 27 2020

Barnes & Noble continues to adapt its operations in reaction to the spread of the new coronavirus. The company has temporarily closed about 400 stores to the public as it works with state and local officials to comply with shelter-in-place rules. At many outlets that are closed to the public for in-store shopping, B&N is continuing to offer curbside pickup for online orders.

In an interview with PW earlier this month, B&N CEO James Daunt said he was confident the company could remain a profitable business while it confronts the coronavirus—as long as it could keep stores opened. He was hoping to make bookstores qualify as essential businesses.
