Heads up, shoppers: 2026 is shaping up to be a big year for brick-and-mortar! Barnes & Noble, Nordstrom Rack, and other big names are opening around 160 new stores. After years of online everything, it looks like we’re getting more places to browse books, score deals, and shop in person. The twist? Many of these new spots are popping up where old stores closed, giving your local mall or shopping center a fresh vibe. More choices, less driving—win-win! #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailNews
