We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Leonard Riggio, the founder and former chairman of Barnes & Noble, Inc., on August 27, 2024, at the age of 83. Mr. Riggio’s vision and entrepreneurial spirit transformed the retail landscape, establishing Barnes & Noble as the largest bookstore chain in the U.S. In addition to Barnes & Noble, he also founded Barnes & Noble College, MBS Textbook Exchange, and GameStop. His leadership spanned decades, during which he not only grew the company, but also nurtured a culture of innovation and a love for reading. Mr. Riggio was also a public servant and tireless advocate for public education, literacy and the arts, supporting organizations such as the Children's Defense Fund, the Anti-Defamation League and DIA:Beacon. We honor his remarkable contributions and extend our deepest condolences to his family. Mr. Riggio will be greatly missed by all who knew him. #LeonardRiggio
