Township officials say business prospects are good for the township’s Route 1 corridor, despite the closing of the Barnes & Noble store at the end of last year.

“We had several discussions with the property owner in an attempt to arrange acceptable terms for a lease extension, but unfortunately we could not reach agreement,” according to a statement from David Deason, vice president of development at Barnes & Noble. “We enjoyed serving our customers there.”

The store, which opened in November 1999, was in the North Village Shopping Center that is home to such other businesses as Bed Bath & Beyond, Michaels and Staples.

“We were certainly disappointed but not entirely surprised given Barnes and Noble’s challenges with its retail business,” said Michael C. Hritz, director of the township’s Department of Community Development.
