Barnes & Noble is set to expand its Texas footprint with a new bookstore opening in the Presidio Junction shopping center on November 4, 2026. This 12,000-square-foot space, previously occupied by Sun & Ski Sports, marks the latest addition to the company's growing national portfolio.
Why it matters
The opening is part of a broader strategy by Barnes & Noble to reestablish physical bookstores in communities across the country. The initiative follows significant growth in the Texas market, where the retailer plans to open eight new stores throughout 2026.
The new bookstore occupies 12,000 square feet within the 375,000-square-foot Presidio Junction property. Nationwide, Barnes & Noble now operates more than 720 bookstores.
