Company History
Barnes & Noble was founded in 1886 by Charles M. Barnes in Wheaton, Illinois, initially as a bookselling business. It expanded significantly under Leonard Riggio, who acquired the company in 1971 and grew it into a national chain. Key milestones include the launch of barnesandnoble.com in 1997, making it one of the first major booksellers to embrace e-commerce, and the introduction of the Nook e-reader in 2009 to compete in the digital book market. The company went public in 1993 and was later taken private in 2019 by Elliott Management Corporation.
