The building is beautiful! I personally love the location I'm so excited to have a bookstore locally again! I think it is a bit smaller than the Fresno or Bakersfield locations but it is chock full of books and media materials!
I love and the selection of genres and titles genres and titles!

Smaller than many other Barnes & Noble, but the space is well used and flows extremely well. The number of book options is also much better than some other locations.

Love B&N and love that we have one here in Visalia. ❤️ Yes, the prices are high compared to online booksellers, but that's not really the point. It's just so nice to peruse a well laid out store with an excellent selection. Try to ignore the comments about long lines... it just opened and people are excited. Get a grip.
Lots of well stocked genres, including YA and Manga, which my kids appreciate. There is a coffee shop serving Starbucks (not an actual Starbucks) and a gorgeous selection of gift items. If you're a reader or plan to shop more than a couple of times a year, I recommend the premium membership. It gives a 10% discount on most items, and you earn points that you can use for future purchases. Oh, and did I mention the comfy chairs? Very nice when you've trekked the whole store and your feet hurt. 😉

Very poorly managed, there was a really long line at one point and only one cashier and one other employee doing who knows what at one of the registers not attending to customers despite seeing the long line. Not as stocked as other B&N stores, more displaying books than selling them really. Good vinyl record collection though so I appreciated that. Cashier had an attitude too and looked like she’d rather be anywhere else. Overall disappointing experience for a store I had high hopes for and was excited to shop at.

The prices have inflated to the point it doesn't make sense to shop here if you're an avid reader. Many of the books I wanted I could find half price online.
Then comes the cafe. Their pricing for the two drinks I ordered said a grande was about $5.25 but when the barista rang me up it said $6.20
I didn't say anything because it'd be embarrassing to make a stink about $2 but I didn't tip because it felt like a rip off to have the pricing on the menu say one thing and charge another. I didnt do any add-ons for my drinks either. Also my cold brew tasted stale, like the old pre-made brews at Walmart.
The whole experience made me never want to come back.

Love the new store. Great seating all around the store. The kids area kept my granddaughter entertained. I don't live in the area but I'll be here every time I'm here visiting family.

Fantastic book store. Unfortunately the one thing I go to B&N for is there wide selection of physical media. Blu rays , DVD’s & Criterion. Hugely lacking here. I’ve been to so many Barnes and Nobles in my life and this is the first one I felt absolutely crushed seeing their movie selection. Very small. Very disorganized. The book selection is great and with an amazing cafe. Just wish they put more effort with their films and movie selection.

Beautiful. My only complaint is the long lines, but understandable since this location just opened! So happy to have this here.

A beautiful new place for Visalia. So wonderful to finally have a place that dedicates itself to the love that comes from novels. A clean store, wonderful layout, & amazing workers. Has been such a blast! Here is an image of me after making the first book purchase at the Visalia Barnes & Noble (already added that to my academic resume)

It's your typical large corporate bookstore going through the honeymoon phase on opening day. Linda's Used Books is local and has been serving Visalia for over three decades. Check them out first before giving your money to another Wall Street owned store.
