Barnes and Noble Reopens in Arlington
ARLINGTON, VA – Barnes & Noble has reopened its Arlington, VA bookstore on Wednesday, May 6th in The Crossing Clarendon shopping center, just outside Washington, DC.
The store has been fully remodeled and reimagined, with bright new fixtures, curated displays, and the cozy layout customers have come to love. It will now offer nearly 14,000 square feet of books, toys, games, magazines, gift items and more. The store is located on the upper level of the space it previously occupied in The Crossing Clarendon (2800 Clarendon Blvd #2000, Arlington, VA 22201), next to Sephora.
The new Barnes & Noble bookstore in Clarendon joins recently opened DC area Barnes & Noble stores in Georgetown and F Street and is one of seven new stores to have opened in Virgina over the last several years.
Barnes & Noble Premium and Rewards Members will earn double stamps on all purchases made between May 6th and 10th. Customers who are not yet Members are encouraged to sign up and start earning stamps and rewards right away.
Everyone who visits the new Clarendon Barnes & Noble during the grand opening will have access to exclusive deals, like $50 off any NOOK device. Customers can also save 40% on all DVD, Blu-ray, and 4k Ultra HD movies.
James Daunt, CEO of Barnes & Noble, said of the reopening of the Clarendon store, “Today we celebrate the reopening of our wonderful Clarendon store, nearly one year after its closing. We are delighted to welcome our customers back to enjoy this beautiful new store. This marks one of four Barnes & Noble store openings this month.”
Store Manager Shawn Marshall, who also opened the new Barnes & Noble in Manassas in 2024, said, “We were a core part of the community in Clarendon, so it’s been fun to feel the excitement from our readers and neighbors as we get ready to reopen. It’s thrilling to open another new store with fresh fixtures, amazing assortment, and a thoughtful, cohesive layout and we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back just in time for summer reading season.”
