Barnes & Noble’s leadership has revitalized the company and its bookstores by combining the power
of a big chain with the pleasure of a beloved independent bookshop. By shifting control of the process
to individual store managers across the country, Barnes & Noble gives its local booksellers discretion
over purchasing, placement and even pricing.
As a privately held company, Barnes & Noble doesn’t report financial results, but the chain’s strong
results are allowing it to expand to the tune of 57 new stores in 2024 and at least 60 in 2025.
This location ranks in the top 10% of all Barnes & Noble stores in Texas for sales performance and
is within the top 20% across the U.S. These figures reflect the store’s alignment with the brand’s
strategic shift toward localized operations, which has driven measurable results across key markets.
In 2024, Corpus Christi ranked No. 1 in the highest move-in-to-out ratio,
reflecting strong in-migration. Due to its moderate cost of living, the Corpus
Christi area ranks No. 1 in Texas and No. 4 in the nation for purchasing power,
and the area ranks as one of the most affordable markets in the country to
buy a home.
In terms of business and employment, Corpus Christi is a center for
petrochemical manufacturing, large-scale fabrication, marine research,
maritime shipping and tourism. The tropical climate, exceptional outdoor
opportunities and premier health care facilities create a perfect community in
