Barnes & Noble booksellers to open
on Rt. 34 in Oswego

The Village of Oswego has received plans from Barnes & Noble booksellers to open a new location at 2490 Route 34 in Prairie Market in the former DSW, Designer Shoe Warehouse, near Best Buy. Barnes & Noble’s plans include renovating almost 16,000 square feet of space.

The Oswego location will showcase the new design seen in the most recent Barnes & Noble store openings and will house all the best books, toys, games and gifts that customers have come to expect from the nation’s premier bookseller, as well as a B&N Café. 

“I couldn’t be happier to welcome Barnes & Noble to our community!” Village President Ryan Kauffman said. “Bookstores are one of my favorite spots. This new addition promises to be a haven for literature lovers and a vibrant hub for intellectual engagement. It’s not only a step forward in enhancing the cultural fabric of our town, but will also elevate and diversify our retail offerings.”

Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in January 2024 for a summer 2024 opening.
