Barnes & Noble Closes
Westport’s Barnes and Noble Booksellers closed its Post Road East location this week. Customers were met by a sign on the front door explaining the closure, and describing their Milford and Stamford locations as alternates.
The store will be relocating to the downtown area to the space of the former Restoration Hardware, or earlier, Fine Arts movie theater. No word yet on an official opening date, but expected for Winter 2021.
