As physical book sales rebound, a new Barnes & Noble location brings an old-fashioned bookstore experience back to the heart of Fort Worth.Fort Worth TodayBarnes & Noble is opening a new 20,000-square-foot bookstore with a cafe in Fort Worth's Montgomery Plaza shopping center, marking the retailer's first new location in the city in years. The $500,000 interior construction project is expected to be completed by late October, with the store potentially open by the holiday season.

The filing indicates the new bookstore will be around 20,000 square feet and include a cafe.
- The $500,000 interior construction work is expected to start in July and wrap up in late October 2026.
- The new Barnes & Noble store may be open and selling books by the 2026 holiday season.
