BARNES & NOBLE SIGN GOES UP AT ONE LOUDOUN

But a new mystery has arisen over the bookstore’s grand opening date.

Construction crews have been hard at work on the new Barnes & Noble Bookstore being built at One Loudoun. This week saw a major milestone when the sign was officially installed on the facade of the building.

While that’s a definite “sign” of progress (pardon the pun), a question remains about the store’s opening date. Originally, they were talking Spring 2017. Then we later heard Summer 2017, possibly July. Now, we have heard a rumor the grand opening could be pushed back even further.

We reached out to Barnes & Noble’s corporate HQ and got a response that just said they would be in touch when they had more information to share. So now Ashburn has a new mystery on its hands — when will the Barnes & Noble at One Loudoun open? Area book lovers want to know.

You’ll remember — Ashburn’s new Barnes & Noble is going to be very unique. It’s one of only four B&Ns in the country (so far) that will feature a new design and layout and also feature a restaurant and bar. Check out our previous story here for more details.

    Will you be able to get a table at the restaurant? Or will it always be booked?

    Is there any word on why the Barnes and Noble is taking so long to finish construction? Looked in the window this weekend and they have had to dig up the concrete floor and seem to be doing major work on the plumbing.

    Matt, we heard a rumor that some of the design or architectural elements have been changed in the store. This could be because this is one of several prototype stores Barnes & Noble is opening. Perhaps they encountered some issues at the already open stores and are making changes here before opening the next one. But we called Barnes & Noble’s corporate headquarters and they would not confirm any of that nor an opening date.
