This Barnes and Noble has such a cozy feeling to it. They had the book that I needed for a good price. The guy working was helpful at checkout and assured we had everything we needed. I would recommend this location if you're in need of a book. read more

Barnes & Noble Booksellers - Bookstores Near Me - Midvale, Utah

This location continues to offer a wide range of books at reasonable prices. Well organized and the front desk cashier was friendly and helpful. Classical music lends to a peaceful and relaxing book shopping experience. Up front there are also an array of greeting cards, journals, and small gifts ranging from games to small bags and totes. Cute one stop shop for any book lover. Oh and if they're out of stock of a book they can order it for store pickup! read more

Sadly it is rare for businesses to have good employees who actually care about customers these days. Kate is an exception. She went above and beyond to find travel books for me that were listed on their inventory but were hiding behind other books. She called me and put them on hold. Such a nice experience. Thank you! read more

Love it. This is not the largest B&N location, and the sections are noticeably shrinking - but I am so glad we have a Barnes & Noble at this location. Every time I wander in here I find fabulous things I cannot live without. Conveniently located and of course - stocked with a coffee shop. Great place to find gifts for friends (and yourself!) read more

Great location, and the staff has always been helpful. While not the largest selection, it is still significant--more than you'll ready in a lifetime. And they will order anything you want and have it in stock in a few days. read more

There are nine Barnes and Noble locations ... NINE! ... in the Salt Lake Valley, almost 800 nationwide, and employ 26,000 across the nation. This seems impossible. Why haven't they gone the way of the Dodo bird, almost two decades deep into the Amazon age? If you were wondering, I've got some answers for you As someone with both undergrad and grad degrees in English, B&N has been kind of a mecca for me, a place to peruse a grand collection of books, get a cup of coffee, and look at books then lounge around reading parts. And, during grad school in Kansas, the B&N in Topeka had the only clean restroom on I-70 from Junction City to Kansas City... buuuuuut that's another story for another day. First big difference: B&N is now part toys/collectables store. They have a whole AISLE of Harry Potter toys, a whole AISLE of Star Wars toys, games, puzzles, and a whole bunch of other geektastic stuff, including a hundreds of Pop Funko collectibles. There's also a WHOLE BACK WALL of clearance Pop Funko ... each going for a little under $5(!) They also have plenty of stuffed toys that little kids will love. I think they've also done well by their children's collection (in the back of the store). Also B&N consistently holds children's reading events, some sharing the same theme nationwide, some with a local flavor. And, as 20 years later, they have a stellar magazine stand with hundreds titles. It's still the only place around I can find a selection of the more obscure cinema and modern literature magazines I like. And, of course, Barnes and Noble has the books. They've expanded their stores to meet the toy demand, instead of pushing out any books. The left side of the store has the bountiful selection of books that I remember. Right before the cashier you'll find the clearance books ... a very difficult temptation to pass up. And then there's the Cafe. Books and coffee go together like peas and carrots. Along with this Fort Union location are B&Ns in SLC (The Gateway), Sugarhouse, West Jordan, Murray, Midvale, West Bountiful, Orem, and Layton. Utahans, you'll want to see what you've been missing! read more

This shop is embracing curbside pickup and they are so helpful! I really appreciated my experience today with Barnes and noble!

I used to spend a lot of money at Barnes and Noble, but haven't bought any new books for a very long time. When I do go in, it seems each section gets smaller, and smaller. I didn't end up buying anything because I can get what I'm looking for cheaper online....even if I do have to pay for shipping. read more

Barnes & Noble Booksellers - Bookstores Near Me - Midvale, Utah

Oh, brick-and-mortar bookstores. How I hope you hold on. Even this big retail giant. The smell of books; ink and paper bound into adventure, instruction, myth and poem. You don't get that over the internet. Sadly, the shelves are looking a little bare. There's an entire swath of real estate inside of this now that's just bare. The walls are shrinking and I'm not sure how they stay on top of things in a dot-com download world. Still, there's the bargain book section. And perusing by hand is so much more satisfying (and less risky) than judging the book by its .jpg cover. Of note: a nice little Utah section. I wasn't wowed by the cooking section, and I adore pawing through the gardening books. The selection isn't so very regional on the latter two, but if you know that going in you'll be okay. read more

We live in a sad age now where bookstores are really no longer necessary. You can buy pretty much any book online for a lower price, with a better selection of options. And yet...there is just something so wonderful about book stores! You can't browse books online like you can in a store, nor can you pick them up, feel their heft, etc. I always love going to Barnes and Noble (though I visit pretty infrequently), but most of the time I only leave with one item, or empty handed. That's not to say I don't enjoy my time spent there because I certainly do. It feels so cozy inside! They have a little coffee bar! There are records and magazines and stationary and games and treats! They have the best reusable bags! But when it comes down to it I just can't pay so much more to buy something in person. I have bought books here when I felt I needed them IMMEDIATELY, and I was able to find a specialty magazine here that I couldn't find anywhere else. It is never busy, but there are usually at least a few people milling around. Employees are friendly and helpful, although it can be difficult to find someone on the floor if you are looking for a particular book. It is worth spending some time here, and hopefully you will be better than me and support them by making a purchase. read more

We can spend a lot of time in a book store. A LOT of time. Much like record stores (which coincidentally we can ALSO spend a lot of time in), the places where one can browse rows an rows of books are few and far between. Barnes & Noble still provides us with this glorious opportunity, and I thank them for it. Generally they have some great sale prices on a good range of genres, their classics series are buy 2 get 3 at very reasonable prices, and you can fin a lot of great games, toys, and learning activities for anyone from 0-101. I hope that B&N can continue to have their stores, as aside from the few independents in Utah (which I love more and often) they are the last chain that you can still browse without being in front of a keyboard. This location is close by to my favourite Super Target, but sometimes gets glossed over due to the vast empty space of the former Circuit City and Home Depot that live in-between them. read more

Barnes & Noble Booksellers - Coolest plush ever. - Bookstores Near Me - Midvale, Utah

I was looking for The Shrine of Gaiety and it wasn't in section. The woman with highlights at the customer service desk was on her phone so I didn't want to ask her. When I asked the woman at the front, she kind of shouted at me, "You have to go to customer service for that." I wish this location was a little more professional. I think their names were Tanelle and Maggie, but I could be wrong. read more

Spotty. But I still am drawn back. Sort of a guilty pleasure. And it has been for all the years that I have lived here. BUT, give the local independent small book sellers your business as well. Visit The King's English and ALL of the used Bookstores in SLC. These stores (not B/N) never have failed me. There are numerous unsurprising reasons for this: devoted sales staff who actually know books, authors, trends, genres, classics, little known terrific writers, and I'm convinced that unlike some B/N staff, these folks actually read! Shocking. Give the independents a try: you will learn something new, you won't sense any degree of boredom with your questions, and you will have a great time. Theses folks may be off the map for many book lovers: try them and support them if you are so inclined. Tip for Barnes and Nobles: work on all aspects of running a bookstore... read more

i love books and all the reading accessories that Barnes and Noble has to offer buttttt i wish that the staff knew where thongs were and/ or could recommend books to me which is why i prefer local book stores read more

This Barnes & Noble store has a similar layout and selection to just about every other Barnes & Noble out there. The store is clean, well stocked, and generally well staffed. I like the bargain racks and the clearance sections because you can find some great deals. The Barnes & Nobles Classics which are paperback re-printings of old books like Tom Sawyer and Moby Dick are also a terrific value. Said another way, they are cheap, and well worth buying if you are into the classics. While online bookstores like Amazon.com may have cut into Barnes & Nobles sales, online can never replace the enjoyment of browsing a good bookstore. Make sure and drop by the cafe for a fresh cup of joe or a baked treat. The blueberry scones are great. read more

My friend and I were there tonight and the girl who's the cashier was so rude and seem like she didn't want to be there then another lady with green hair came to help her because we were asking for a teacher discount I believe her name was jade? Anyways she was so disrespectful and had the worst attitude. Never shopping at this location. read more

This Barns and Noble has a really convenient layout. So far I've yet to find a book that I am interested in. They have a wide selection of books and magazines for just about anybody. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. They are always willing to help me find what I'm looking for. The coffee shop is a usual hangout for my friends and I. We normally find ourselves here for hours reading and talking about what we're reading. Now this is living! read more

Barnes & Noble Booksellers - Enjoying a magazine at B&N - Bookstores Near Me - Midvale, Utah

I just spent over $150 at this Barnes & Noble for various items. I won't be back to this store, until I'm given a plastic bag for my purchases. The customer service is horrible. read more

This Barnes and Nobles is pretty small compared to most, but the staff is very friendly. I only go here if I have a specific book that I want, I looked it up online to make sure they carry it, and I get someone to help me find it. The types of books I typically gravitate towards (business, culture/religion, and humorous practical) are not ones that have a huge selection at this location compared to others in the area, but because it's small and doesn't get much traffic, the staff is always on top of things with helping customers. read more

If I had known where the book was I'd have probably not asked. As it was, I was clearly looking in the wrong section for the book. Nonetheless, a sigh and an eye roll weren't appreciated. Also, calling your theater section "drama" and then getting upset I wasn't immediately sure what you meant isn't really on me. Call it theater. But, next time I'll just look-up and order it online from a competitor rather than dare upset the solitude of the Barnes and Noble shelf stocker. read more

I rarely go to book stores but today I had to get a book for my daughter's book report due in 3 days. The theme is multicultural and that was all I had to give the incredibly nice man that helped us. Sam, you are a life saver for a single mother and procrastinating daughter. You found a book that was perfect for the assignment and loved by my daughter. Thank you! read more

Dear Starbucks in Barnes Noble Ft Union, I went in and purchased a grilled cheese sandwich, a cookie and a cold foam cold brew caramel. I waited for 35 mins for my order while at least 4 people that came later got their orders. I go to the pretty young lady at the cash register and ask her about my order and she looked at me really confused (I don't know why since she took my order) I tell her I am on my lunch break and have to go and she said "sorry" and will get it to me in 2 mins. All she did for me was my sandwich. She stared at me confused as to why I am waiting and I said I still need my cookies and my Coffee. She ran around to get a cookie and then asked me again what my other cookie flavor was. She then gave me my cookies and made my drink in a hurry and it wasn't a "Cold Foam Cold Brew" That I ordered. She said well we don't have that in store... If you don't have that drink then why did you charge me for it? in the end I just had to be happy with the drink because I had to race back to work and still was late after waiting for it except I couldn't be happy with it because she put so much caramel that I couldn't drink because it was wayyyy to sweet! I wont be retuning to this Starbucks again. read more

Very upset with something that happened Friday night. A friend and I had to run in to buy a game quick and the store wasn't closing for another 10 minutes so we walked in, headed back to the games and was stopped by an employee with a unpleasant facial expression saying "What do you need?" I responded quickly with "we are just grabbing a game" and he snaps back "well hurry we are about to close." Then continues to mumble things under his breath as he walked away. I understand if you are upset because we walked in when you were about to close but we knew what we were getting and were not just hanging out, the customer service there was just not great. If you don't like your job then don't do it. I'm giving your store money, you can treat people kinder and with a bit more patience. read more

Customer service was not helpful. Checking out the employee was new and did not know how to input a 10 rebate (understandable so no fault to her). The reason I give a 2 is because of the supervisor who was not willing to help the employee or myself. The supervisor said "you must have already used it". My partner and I informed the supervisor we haven't but she wasn't willing to look into the matter. Poor service and management. read more

Just today I entered this Barnes and Noble location, specifically to get a drink at the Starbucks cafe within the store. The cafe wasn't busy, so after my friend ordering her drink I walked up to the counter and waited. The only barista there was making my friend's drink. I understand that he was making another drink, but I didn't get service for a few minutes. Finally another barista arrives and kindly greets me. I order my drink and get it made. After waiting a few minutes, I got my drink. Venti caramel frappuccino, no whip. The man spills my drink all over the counter, and says "uh-oh..." Let me make it clear that I hadn't set a finger on my drink. A good portion of my drink is spilled and the server doesn't even offer to make me another one. I grab some napkins and try to hand them to him but he won't accept. So I wipe up the mess that HE made while he's just watching me. I don't like to be rude to my severs, even if they have been rude to me. So I didn't say anything about my spilled drink and the mess I had to clean up. My experiences with Starbucks located inside Barnes and Noble have always been poor. I will not be returning to this Starbucks. read more
