Barnes & Noble to Open New Edgewood Store
Atlanta’s Edgewood Retail District is welcoming a new bookstore on July 8. Barnes & Noble is returning to the area after its previous Edgewood store closed in 2022. It is the first of the three Atlanta-area stores that are scheduled to open this year.
According to the official announcement, Barnes & Noble’s new store spans more than 15,000 square feet. It is located at 1205 Caroline Street NE, in the former Office Depot space next to Kroger. It will offer books, toys, games, gifts, magazines, and a Barnes & Noble Cafe.
CEO James Daunt said he is excited to bring the brand back to the neighborhood. Following the Edgewood store, the brand is opening stores in Toco Hills and Peachtree Corners.
Barnes & Noble now operates more than 700 bookstores nationwide. It plans to open 60 new stores in 2026 as it continues expanding across the U.S.
