Borders closing 200 stores
 

"Clearance sales could begin as early as this weekend, according to documents filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York."

Damn. I wonder when they will post a list of the stores that will be closed.

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

They already did. I posted the link in the Official Borders Coupon Thread earlier. But here it is:

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

Glad to see there are not any in the Sacramento, CA area.

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

None (so far) in Oregon :)

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

They're closing a big one not far from my house. It was a nice store, as I remember. Haven't been there in years.

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

There's only one closing in Nevada, but it also happens to be the longest standing Borders (its been there since I was a child) and the smallest location.

I don't think the liquidation sales will be that great. Remember, there's still 400+ Borders stores in the country that are not closing.

I'm curious if Barnes and Noble may jump into some of the more prime real estate that Borders is closing.

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

Yeah, that store was tiny! They didn't even carry DVD's...

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

They should have closed the Summerlin location. They never have what I'm looking for stocked on the shelves and the employees aren't very helpful.

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

Man, this one is kind of sad. Living in Ann Arbor, I used to go to Border's all the time and still stop in on occasion... one of the few brick and mortars I still shop at. I checked, but obviously they are not closing down the flagship store downtown. Heck, they just built a new one about 2 miles down the road from it, which is also remaining open.

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

Congratulations, you just described every Borders location!

:D

They did, or used to. I picked up a few TV on DVD box sets from that location when Borders was getting rid of a majority of their media. Picked up Spaced and Undeclared for under $20 each during that sale. :thumbsup:

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

The Borders closest to me is closing. :(

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

The Borders at the Block of Orange is closing. Kinda sad cause a friend works there and he'll be out of a job.

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

Same here (Glendale, CA) - There is a BN practically across the street though. My favorite BN in Los Angeles actually.

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

Maybe they added them after 2003. I lived in Vegas from 2003-2005, but I may not have been in that location since 2003. Once I saw they didn't have DVD's, I didn't have a reason to go back to that location.

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

A bunch in Austin are closing... but San Antonio is keeping theirs.

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

bummer. the one close to me is closing..... too bad too. I had Xxxholic S.A.V.E. edition pre-ordered at $10.90 with site to store shipping. guess I'll have to call and cancel it :(

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

They're closing the one closest to me in a pretty big mall. Didn't go there much.

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

seems like all of them in Austin are closing! i think there'll only be one left?

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

Most of the Chicago and nearby suburbs got hit bigtime, but some of these stores were just dreadful to even walk into. Schaumburg and Willmette got spared. Wondering if we'll still be able to print out coupons and combine them with the new discounts they'll start to add on this weekend and as it grows in weeks to come.

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

The one closest to me in Madison is closing - it'll be interesting to see if the 'clearance' prices are anything worthy

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

At least you'll still have the one in East Madison. Only that one, and Eau Claire were spared in WI (plus 3 Waldenbooks).

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

That comes out March 1st! The stores won't be closing before April. I'm keeping my pre-orders intact. They will arrive well before the store closes.

Re: Borders closing 200 stores
 

Terrible store.
