A few days ago, I shared a reel from Barbara’s Bookstore to our stories about Barnes & Noble opening a new location in downtown Chicago, only one block away from them.
As Barnes & Noble announces an aggressive expansion plan to open 60 new stores across the country, I want to share the real reason why we’re seeing them pop up right next to thriving indie stores.
This practice is driven by what is known as location intelligence; where corporations leverage demographic and foot traffic data to target areas with already proven demand. By opening near an established independent shop, they essentially bypass the costly research phase, secure a guaranteed customer base, and take over the local indie’s market.
This is why, now more than ever, we need to continue to support our indie bookstores in our communities. Not everyone has a choice, but if you do, choose an indie bookstore

Escalator royalties sound complicated, but the idea is simple: as a book sells more copies, the creator’s royalty rate goes up.
That can be a fair way to balance risk early on while making sure authors and illustrators share more in the upside when a project succeeds.
The key is not just the percentages — it’s the fine print:�How are sales defined?�How are returns and reserves handled?�And are those sales thresholds actually realistic?
At Fair Share Publishing, we usually keep it simple with a flat 50% of sales royalty after earn-out. But when a stepped structure makes sense, clarity and fairness matter most.
Because a royalty clause should reward success — not hide confusion.
