Consumers are swapping digital screens for physical pages as reading makes a comeback. Barnes & Noble — the nation’s largest retail bookseller — is responding by expanding its footprint, bringing more stores to more communities. This nationwide expansion includes three new locations at Regency properties across Connecticut, all set to open in the coming year.
As readers rediscover the joy of in-store browsing, these new stores will provide inviting spaces to explore bestsellers, discover hidden gems, and get lost in the pages of a great book.

Bookstores have long been gathering places that foster connection and discovery, making them a natural fit for our centers,” said Sean Mirkov, Senior Leasing Agent. “Barnes & Noble’s expansion at Regency Centers underscores the enduring value of brick-and-mortar retail and the growing demand for immersive, community-driven shopping experiences.
