Store Manager
If you love books, why not work in a place surrounded by them?
Barnes & Noble
OUR MISSION is to operate the best specialty retail business in America, regardless of the product we sell. Because the product we sell is books, our aspirations must be consistent with the promise and the ideals of the volumes that line our shelves. To say that our mission exists independent of the product we sell is to demean the importance and the distinction of being booksellers. AS BOOKSELLERS, we are determined to be the very best in our business, regardless of the size, pedigree, or inclinations of our competitors. We will continue to bring our industry nuances of style and approaches to bookselling that are consistent with our evolving aspirations. ABOVE ALL, we expect to be a credit to the communities we serve, a valuable resource to our customers, and a place where our dedicated booksellers can grow and prosper. Toward this end, we will not only listen to our customers and booksellers but embrace the idea that the company is at their service.
