Barnes & Noble does business -- big business -- by the book. As the #1 bookseller in the US, it operates about 720 Barnes & Noble superstores (selling books, music, movies, and gifts) throughout all 50 US states and Washington, DC. The stores are typically 10,000 to 60,000 sq. ft. and stock between 60,000 and 200,000 book titles. Many of its locations contain Starbucks cafes, as well as music departments that carry more than 30,000 titles. Barnes & Noble also owns, but is closing down, the mall-based B. Dalton chain of some 30 bookstores. In cyberspace, the firm conducts sales through subsidiary BarnesandNoble.com (BN.com), which accounts for about 10% of total sales.
