Barnes & Noble Returns to Baltimore County With a New Timonium Bookstore
Barnes & Noble is back in Baltimore County. The bookseller opened its new Timonium store on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at the newly renovated Lutherville Station shopping center, 130 W. Ridgely Rd, next to Old Navy. In a nice full circle twist noted by the company, the same space was once home to a Borders bookstore.
The store covers more than 17,500 square feet, with a comprehensive presentation of books alongside toys, games, vinyl, DVDs, magazines, greeting cards and stationery. It also has a Barnes & Noble Cafe, making it an easy place to settle in with a coffee and a new read.
The opening marks the chain's return to the area after its popular Towson location closed almost a decade ago. Store Manager Sheldon Kulbicki, who remembers shopping at the Towson store, said getting to help bring Barnes & Noble back and create new memories for customers is what makes the opening so exciting. Opening festivities included a visit from costume character Corduroy, with special story time events for families over the opening weekend.
