Nice B&N location. This is one of the bigger locations with a lot of different sections. I especially enjoyed perusing the music section. It's nice to see physical media making its comeback.

An extremely well decked out Barnes& Noble! Tons of colorful books and helpful crowd. You'll be drowning in all the fancy fresh items coming in the 2 floors here, and it's a great place to buy gifts. The only bad part is it there's literally no place to sit down... Unlike other bookstores that have couches and chairs, the only place to sit is in the Starbucks.

I just want to say the customer service here is phenomenal. Kensley searched for the book I was looking for and found it in the back. She helped me with book recommendations and I walked away very happy after feeling discouraged. Journey at the cash register was also amazing. He was very kind and patient.

I want to shout out Nicole!! I have been to this store a handful of times and always seem to run into her she shows you what you’re looking for and shows you other options to go deeper into your topic. She is obviously well read and a serious gem for the store SHE NEEDS A RAISE! Go Nicole!

This was the nicest and biggest Barnes and Noble I have been to. Two floors in this store and I left so happy. My daughters and I always go into Barnes and Noble and we all left with more than what we planned on getting. They had everything we were looking for too. The store was impeccable. I will be returning when I visit North Carolina again.

A bookstore with plenty of options. Great for finding a book you're probably missing. Has a Starbucks inside as well if you needed a quick drink and light meal.

Tim took my order over the phone and had it waiting for me at the counter. The register clerk was very friendly. This place is amazing but fortunately I was passing thru in a hurry and did not have time to browse.

Being here the first time. I must say I like how refined the categories are. I searched all of sports and nature… only to discover fishing, hunting and survival has its own shelf. The store was observed clean and delightfully cool for a hotter day. It would be nice to see seats around the upstairs center glass, but this isn’t a library. I highly recommend this location! 👍👍😁🇺🇸

Very well stocked shop in the mall, my favorite place to sit down for a coffee and browse some books while taking a break.
