New Natick Barnes & Noble Opens This Month

NATICK, MA — Barnes & Noble is set to open its Natick location this month, the local store announced on social media.

An opening date is set for June 14, and store officials are sharing images of the storefront in preparation on Facebook.

Barnes & Noble announced it would be leaving its Shoppers World space on Jan. 22, 2023, but would reopen in the spring down the road in Sherwood Plaza.

According to reports, this move is part of the plans at Shoppers World to add an Amazon Fresh grocery store, which will involve some reshuffling of storefronts.

The owner will tear down the Barnes & Noble and Old Navy stores to build a 38,650 square-foot grocery store plus nearly 6,000 square feet of new retail space, according to plans.

Barnes & Noble is expected to take over the storefront that once was the home of Petco in Natick.
