Barnes & Noble Plans to Close 20 Stores Per Year

Barnes & Noble Inc. plans to close 30 percent of its stores, or about 20 stores a year, over the next decade, a top executive with the bookstore told the Wall Street Journal.  Mitchell Klipper, chief executive of Barnes & Noble’s retail group, did not provide a list of retail stores that would be closed so there’s no word yet on the future of the Barnes & Noble in Deerfield Square.

The thieves are actually a very small part of the reason the problem goes unsolved. I know that sounds crazy, but its true. I'll illustrate this with a real life example. When I lived in the city, I had my credit card number stolen. The idiot was dumb enough to use my stolen number to pay his phone bill.
