Bookseller Merch
Description: America's favorite bookseller is now on your favorite t-shirt. Founded in 1966 by Bruce Dayton, B. Dalton Bookseller Inc. grew to be the second-largest operator of shopping-mall bookstores in the US. Initially, with stores that featured parquet flooring and wide aisles, B. Dalton targeted middle-class suburban customers. Later the store switched to a mass-market approach, which allowed for a wider range of titles. B. Dalton was also a longtime sponsor of the PBS TV series Reading Rainbow. By January 2010, all but two B. Dalton locations were closed, with the final store closing at the end of February, 2013.
Description: B. Dalton Bookseller (often called B. Dalton or B. Dalton's) was an American retail bookstore chain founded in 1966 by Bruce Dayton, a member of the same family that operated the Dayton's department store chain. B. Dalton expanded to become the largest retailer of hardcover books in the United States, with 798 stores at the peak of the chain's success. Located primarily in shopping malls, B. Dalton competed primarily with Waldenbooks. Barnes & Noble acquired the chain from Dayton's in 1987 and continued to operate it until a late 2009 announcement that the last 50 stores would be liquidated by January 2010
