Barnes & Noble is turning to food to save its business.

Barnes & Noble is turning to food to save its business. With revenue on the decline, the retailer is tapping into the Experiencification trend, opening “hybrid bookstore/ restaurants” across the U.S. where bookshelves will blend into full-service dining areas. Consumers can take a break while shopping to have local beer and wine, and choose meals from a menu that embraces “modern food trends” like avocado toast, kale salad, and brisket burgers. (Eater)
