Barnes and Noble

I wish I read more, because I would hang out here often. This place is huge… it’s a bright, calm and quiet, fresh environment and it smells wonderful in the areas nearest the Starbuck’s located inside… unfortunately that is also where all toys and puzzles are located, and one of the main reasons I frequent this B&N so often… my son loves the (expensive) novel toys they sell here. I wish he read more too.
There are plenty of places to hide and read in here. We’ve wandered quite a bit with very little offers for assistance. It’s hard to tell who works here and who doesn’t.
New books are expensive; I can usually find the same books online MUCH cheaper (new and used). I wish I could judge them by their covers. I wish they had discount used book section (I’ve bought a couple of discounted new books, only to discover why they were discounted two to three chapters in). Or a recycle/​exchange section…“have a book, give a book; need a book, take a book.”

I went to customer service to get help finding a book and the lady behind the counter gives me the attitude telling me she is clocking out. I didn’t even say anything to her, she could have at least called for assistance. I waited for 10 mins before anyone helped me. My first time there and I will never go back, horrible customer service

One of my favorite book stores. I will have to come back for half price calendars!!! I like their prices and the fact they have wifi and a Starbucks. Wish they were a little closer.

This is a very nice store. I dont take the use of the word very– lightly.
The store is big, bright, seems airy. Optimal for browsing.
Saw an employee seem to be rude to a person of color requesting an older book. Of course I dont know the story, but the interaction made my skin crawl. So, I only deducted one star. I do not aapreciate unnecessary rudeness — or racism for that
matter
Other than the questionable service, the store is above par.

I love a good bookstore, and Barnes & Noble at the Shops of Wiregrass definitely does the trick for me! This is a two-​story store with a Starbucks shop on the ground floor along with the magazines, e-​readers, CD’s, DVD’s, and games. Upstairs is the kids section, separated from the fiction and non-​fiction areas.
On this particular day it was December 27^th, and the Tampa. Florida area was enjoying a steamy 81 degree afternoon. After walking around the outside mall for a few hours it was time to find a cool drink and sit in the air conditioning. The last thing on my shopping list was a couple of paperbacks for my upcoming business trips, and so Barnes & Noble was my salvation.
I stood in line at the Starbucks and ordered a super-​sized plain iced tea with extra ice. There’s a seating area off to one side with FREE WIFI, and plenty of people were curled up with books and magazines as they finished their drinks and munched on some pastries. I chose to wander around and look through the magazines and DVD’s before riding the escalator up to the stacks of books.
A couple of glances around the upper floor and I found the section marked «Mysteries» and started my search for something new. From there I moved over to the «Fiction» section and grabbed some Brad Meltzer and Clive Cussler paperbacks to keep me amused on my trips.
Back down the escalator, and then follow the queue to the cash register and back out into the heat. A successful trip!

BUYER BEWARE !! Check the B&N website before you buy in a storefront. Bought 2 books at the store today to only discover that the website sold the same books for $ 17 cheaper! One book alone was a $ 15 difference! And as an added bonus, if you pay the higher price at the store and lose your receipt? You will only get the lower website price back regardless of where you bought it. Now if you ask a store sales associate the excuse they give for NOT price matching to the website is they say they are not affiliated with the website. Well if this is true, why are you only giving back the website price on a no receipt return? It can’t go both ways gang and with these type of business tactics you can bet that I am DONE with Barnes and Nobles. Dispicable business practices.

Great environment for relaxation and reading. It is almost like a library and a coffee shop. Free wifi. Plenty of great books to read. Cool games to look at. It is really nice. Two floor levels. Great coffee or cappuccino — whatever your fancy. Pastries and treats too. Great place to hang out after touring Wiregrass. It also has a great kids place where they can play with toys and there are chairs for mommy and daddy to sit down and read while the kids play. Lots of movies and music to choose as well.

Great bookstore! We really like coming here and spending time as a family. Kids enjoy the upstairs kids’ area where they have a great assortment of kids’ books as well as toys. The kids also enjoy the train track table they have set up. It’s a great place to just let your kids play sorta quietly while parents browse through a few books. The kids area really is top notch as is the selection of books and unique, educational toys. The café is great too. The store has a layout that makes sense and makes browsing easy. Staff is always courteous and helpful.

Great location at the wire grass mall. Staff is friendly. Lots of seating to study or read a book while enjoying coffee or your choice of dessert from the café located inside.

Their $ 2 bin was pretty good.
Otherwise, this is a Barnes & Noble that also happens to have a really large section devoted to the Nook. So if you have a Nook, this seems to be the place to go.

Oh Barnes and Noble, how I love thee! This one was a welcome addition when they built the Shops at Wiregrass. It’s close to Moe’s and JCPenney, so you can easily stop by for some lunch and then go get a coffee and read at Barnes & Noble. The store is huge, with two floors, and a nice Starbucks and seating area. The children’s section upstairs is really nice, and there’s even a spot where you can sit while your kids play with a Thomas the Train display. Score! They sell toys here, as well, but I love how they placed them outside the children’s book area so that you aren’t being begged to death the whole time.
Several kiosks are available to help you find your books, as well as friendly associates. Great selection; I’ve never had trouble finding a book I was looking for. And they will order and reserve books for you. Lots of magazines to choose from, as well as music and movies. They also have a pretty nice selection of board games and gifts.

I always like walking around this store old school style around the holidays. I hope they’re still here next year.

Great selection of books, magazines and they will order what you need if they dont have it with no questions asked.
The starbucks is a starbucks and they are usually slow because they are very sweet and personable to everyone but thats not bad unless youre in a hurry.
A cool thing about books is the newer generations dont seem to read them so in turn this place has huge sales and thats good for us! :)
Seriously, I just picked up Poe’s complete works and some Lovecraft for about seven dollars each.
There are tons of instructional items also which is lovely and you can pick up a nook! Also there is a nice area to relax and enjoy your coffee and the newest issue of high fructose.

Nice, ROOMY bookstore with a café and plenty of places to sit and read and/​or study. I was in here on a rainy Saturday afternoon and while the place was really busy & slightly crowded, it was quiet and peaceful at the same time.
Had a hard time finding a test-​prep book that I was looking for as they alphabetize the test prep books by the name of the test, but oh wait, they put some other ones on other shelves. Didn’t understand why the one I wanted wasn’t in the place it shoulda been, but on a different area. I did ask an associate and they pointed me in the correct direction quickly & easily though. Not a huge issue. Wish they had a store map too as it’s so big! But, why complain too long and hard about them having such a great selection?

I’m not the biggest fan on Barnes and Noble (I used to be until it became too popular for the masses= even of the non-​book reading variety among us).
This is the classiest and largest BN I’ve ever been to (New York and Philadelphia included). The workers are extremely nice, helpful, and have a seemingly true enjoyment of working there.
I love the Florida history section and regularly purchase something from that section. Overall, an excellent compound and the best of it’s kind I’ve ever visited.

I love this Barnes and Nobles, and it’s located in the Shops of Wiregrass, my home away from home lol.
I am here all the time taking advantage of the free wifi!
I also religiously purchase from the starbucks located inside. Gotta have my passion ice tea lemonade or my moCha coconut.
I like the tables closer to the entrance of red robin. They r in the corner by the window and more secluded then the tables closer to the entrance of moes.

I love this Barnes and Noble! I love that there’s two stories and of course the fact that they serve Starbucks coffee. I hope that they open a free standing Starbucks at Wiregrass, but there is one across the street in the Publix shopping center. Anyways, what’s not to like about a Barnes and Noble?
