My new Naples location this week is..! Barnes and Noble! This store had previously been right next to Waterside Shops off of US 41. It is still off that same road, but now moved to a bigger location! I love the change and I think it is a definite improvement! When I walked into the store I took immediate notice of the smell of new books, fresh coffee, and sweet treats being made! The employees are so friendly and engaging. I felt very welcomed.
I currently work at Barnes and Noble. I could never get sick of that place. Every section is larger than it was at the last location. It was fun to stock each section and see the bookstore come to life! My favorite part of the store is definitely the record/CD section. We have all new artists, along with the greatest musicians in history, David Bowie among them. Along with music we have young adult fiction books, which would have to be the second-best spot to look at books or sit and read.
I have absolutely loved working there. I have met great people who share the same interests that I do, reading, and I have made close friends. Even on a day off I love to go there and read or look at every book in the store. The environment is nice and calm and the interior design is modern, but still cozy. Stop in to browse some time!
