After 28 years, the only Barnes & Noble in Cary is turning the page. .

The national chain bookstore has been in the Cary Commons center at 760 S.E. Maynard Road across from the former Cary Towne Center. The mall was demolished last year.

The store will now move two miles away to the Shoppes of Kildaireat 1311 Kildaire Farm Road.

The 40,000 square-foot bookstore will move into the old Fitness Connection location next to Aldi, according to the store’s Facebook page.

Other retailers in the Shoppes of Kildaire include Staples, City BBQ, Massage Envy, Hallmark and Trader Joe’s.

Cary’s Barnes & Noble announced the move on social media in February and said the community would not be left without a bookstore.

“While we are sad to be leaving this location after a very happy 28 years of bookselling, we look forward to all the advantages of starting afresh with a brand-new bookstore,” the post read.

The store’s location was bought by MDO Holdings, a Raleigh-based investment firm, for $7.09 million in 2018, according to the Triangle Business Journal, which reported the news first.

The new Kildaire location will be about 27,000 square feet, according to the Shoppes of Kildaire, and will include the B&N Cafe.

While there is not an exact date for the move, Lenny Rohrbacher, the store’s assistant manager, said customers can expect to see the relocation take place in late spring or early summer.
