Barnes & Noble opening over 60 new stores, including one in Port St. Lucie, Florida
A Barnes & Noble bookstore will open at 1745 St. Lucie West Blvd. in Town Center at St Lucie West, where Party City used to be. The Party City closed after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Dec. 21 and closed all its stores nationwide.
"Barnes & Noble is enjoying a period of tremendous growth as the strategy to hand control of each bookstore to its local booksellers has proven so successful," the bookseller said in a February news release. "In 2024, Barnes & Noble opened more new bookstores in a single year than it had in the whole decade from 2009 to 2019."
The over 13,000 square-foot store is targeted to open by November, but the date is subject to change, according to Barnes & Noble spokesperson Janine Flanigan.

Major trucking company declares Chapter 11 bankruptcy
The trucking industry finished the first half of 2025 still trapped in the Great Freight Recession. Dry van truckload contract rates were unchanged from the same period a year ago, FreightWaves reported, and trucking spot rates, which shippers pay carriers for a one-time shipment, finished the first half below levels from a year ago. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Long-haul truckload demand reportedly plummeted by 25% in the first half of 2025, with trucking becoming more of a short-haul delivery method for the final leg of freight movement. Related: Popular pizza dining chain franchisee files Chapter 11 bankruptcy Overall freight demand had faced an unseasonal decline in April 2025, "likely presaging further deterioration in the coming months," according to Ryder and FreightWaves' State of the Industry Report released on April 23. The decline is unseasonal, since the beginning of the second quarter usually sees demand slowly ramp up in anticipation of summer inventories and produce deliveries, according to the report. As the Great Freight Recession continues, financial distress in the trucking industry remains, as more transportation companies continue to file for bankruptcy protection. Some examples include Palatine, Ill., women-owned and founded trucking company Dolche Truckload Corp., which filed for Chapter 11 protection on June 15 to reorganize its business and restructure its debts. Dolche Truckload, founded and owned by Desi Evans since 2010, operates 70 trucks for interstate shipping to 48 contiguous states, according to its website. Major trucking and logistics company Elite Carriers and four affiliates also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 21 to restructure their debts. Elite Carriers, which was founded in 1999, operates 70 trucks and employs 70 drivers, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's SAFER website. The company transports goods from the Midwest to the East Coast and Canada, according to its website. Mount Prospect, Ill., trucking and freight transportation company AZA Transportation Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 14 to reorganize its business. The company's creditors include merchant cash advance lenders, equipment finance companies for their trucks, fuel vendors, and tollway authorities. Three trucking companies that are not affiliated filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on April 7, 2025, including C&C Freight Network of Braselton, Ga.; Dedham, Mass.-based Best Choice Trucking LLC; and Memphis, Tenn.-based Best Logistics Inc., which all filed petitions to restructure their debts. Finally, nationwide freight hauling company Daniel Trucking International Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to reorganize its business.

The company ships to 48 contiguous states, operating numerous Freightliner Cascadia models, including refrigerated trucks, Great Dane trailers, and other commercial vehicles. The debtor's largest creditors include Huntington National Bank, owed $1.19 million, and M&T Capital. The debtor indicated in its petition that funds would be available to pay unsecured creditors after paying administrative expenses.
