Barnes & Noble Inc

One of the largest booksellers in the United States, Barnes & Noble runs hundreds of bookstores across the country and sells books, toys, games, and gifts alongside its Nook e-readers and digital library, with many locations featuring an in-store café. The company traces its roots to 1873, when Charles Montgomery Barnes started a book business in Illinois, and the Barnes & Noble name itself came from a 1917 New York partnership between William Barnes and G. Clifford Noble, later built into a national chain by Leonard Riggio after 1971. Fun fact: a popular online rumor falsely claims the chain shares founders with Dave & Buster's—it doesn't.
