If you’ve always lived in a city with a bookstore you may not consider yourself blessed to have one. Moving to Sioux City, a bigger town, means we get to have a Barnes & Noble! 🎉 They carry a truly beautiful set of classics and we love to browse their special books on sale, always something to find. Lots of anime, children’s books, books of faith and cookery and new age. Actively purchase here to support a brick and mortar store than the internet. Some cute gifts, excellent magazine section and even a Starbucks to be able to read, sip and party like it’s 1999.
Barnes and Noble is my "addiction"! I could live there if they'd let me! I'm an old-school love-to-hold-a-book-in-my-hands kind of reader, and at B and N I can browse to my heart's content! The staff always is so courteous and helpful.
Not a terrible place to shop if you’re looking for books. The reason I am only giving three stars is due to the terrible and rude sales associate named Emma. She was our cashier and was more concerned about going on her lunch break than helping me access my rewards information. I was very disappointed because she wasn’t friendly at all. Now, I believe her name was Sandy was very nice in trying to locate the Lego set my friend was looking for. The website had shown you had the set in stock and she was willing to check the back and was apologetic when she couldn’t find it. All in all, not a bad place to go for books! But avoid Emma.
Love this bookstore! Has all the specials and deals on books. Inside Starbucks cafe available. Employees are knowledgeable great. Slightly busy on Saturdays. Peaceful on weekdays.
Went to buy an atlas ... didn't know where they were located and no staff was at counter to ask. Wandered in store looking for sign to direct me to map section and couldn't see one. Finally a person passing me asked if I needed assistance...he had no name badge or any attire that ID he was B&N staff. He took me to the location and said he was short staffed. My thoughts are that if salaries were better ... maybe staff would increase. Yes, I am part of the problem as "on line" shopping is so convenient.
They do price match their online prices here. They have a Starbucks in the store. It seems like they may have a backed up septic system unfortunately by the restroom area.
