B&N Considering a Sale - Publishers Weekly

Panzer's trip into the Catosphere today took him to the Publishers Weekly site. With no digging at all our furry kitty boy found a post about the possible sale of Barnes and Noble.

According to Jim Milliot, Barnes and Noble is open to the sale of the company. Yesterday, Panzer told you about the possible sale news. Jim Milliot's Publishers Weekly post is an expansion of the information in yesterday's Chicago Business Journal post. Without naming any entity Barnes and Noble says "multiple parties" are interested in buying the company. It's also reported Chairman Leonard Riggio is also interested in buying the company. The post includes links to other posts about the possible Barnes and Noble sale.

Why sell? They're opening new stores.

Panzer says, "This little kitty wants to know who these unnamed possible interested buyers are?"

Note: This is a medium-length post. Bring a cup of tea and a chocolate chip cookie (biscuit) for today's reading selection.

Barnes & Noble to explore a sale - Chicago Business Journal

Who do you think it is?

Panzer had hardly gotten into the Catosphere when the Panzermobile was buffeted by screaming and crying and gnashing of teeth. Following all the noise took our brave kitty boy to the Chicago Business Journal. There he found a post about the possible sale of Barnes and Noble.

According to the post by Gina Hall, Barnes and Noble is considering a sale of the company. Chairman Leonard Riggio has expressed interest in purchasing the company. It also appears someone or another company is buying up Barnes and Noble's stock. Barnes and Noble has put into place "a short-term shareholders rights plan" to try "to dilute an outsider's holdings."

Panzer says, "It sounds like a hostile takeover attempt to this little kitty."

Barnes and Noble opening prototype store in Vernon Hills - Chicago Business Journal

Panzer's trip into the Catosphere today took him to the Chicago Business Journal site. With no digging at all our traveling kitty found a post about Barnes and Noble.

How comfortable are the chairs?

According to the Chicago Business Journal's Les Lazare, Barnes and Noble opened their newest prototype bookstore today in Vernon Hills, Illinois. Panzer told you yesterday about Barnes and Noble's plans to open three new prototype stores by the end of the year. The new store is 17,400 square feet. In addition to books the store has toys, games for adults and children, and puzzles. In the children's section there is a Lego table. There are chairs located in the store to rest, check out a book or visit with friends. The store also has a cafe with coffee, tea, soup, and sandwiches.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... This little kitty wonders if bookstore users get to vote on which prototype store they like best?"

Note: With the post's interior store photos this is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection.
