Wareham Barnes & Noble Bookstore To Open in August

Wareham is getting its first bookstore in years and it will pop up just in time for the new school year.

Barnes & Noble is set to open at Wareham Crossing in early August, she confirmed.

"We were so glad when this opportunity opened up to us," Flanigan said. "Every community needs a great bookstore and we are excited to create one here in Wareham."

Hanks said the store will likely host a local author on site the week of the grand opening.

Barnes & Noble already has a store open in Dartmouth, about a 25-minute drive away. This will be different, Flanigan said.

"This store gives us the opportunity to show off our new store design," she said. "Both the fixturing and furniture will be different from Dartmouth and will include book rooms with soft seating. "

Good news, book fans. Hanks also hinted that Barnes & Noble plans to open quite a few locations in the region.
