This is a great story of how Barnes & Noble’s new CEO who was hired in 2019 has turned around the company. Sales are up, it opened 16 stores this year and plans to open more next year.

The secret is the CEO really likes books and readers. So he stopped doing deals with publishers to promote their latest books & NYT best sellers and encouraged individual stores to promote books they found most interesting.

@carnage4life Oh that's great! Sadly no B&N around here, but I also didn't bother going in to one when traveling recently because last I heard they were awful.

Would be great if our lousy Booksamillion was replaced by or competed with a local B&N.
