Borders to Close "Approximately 17" Stores in January

PublishersLunch

A number of local reports cover Borders outlets across the country that are scheduled to close on or about January 7), with liquidation sales underway in many of the affected locations. Spokesperson Mary Davis confirms to us that "approximately 17" stores will close, though she says the company is not making available a list of affected stores.

From local press accounts we have accounted for 10 of those locations: Four stores are closing in California--in Los Angeles's Westwood, downtown Santa Barbara, Thousand Oaks, and Carlsbad; two in New Jersey, in Nassau Park near Princeton and Marlton in South Jersey; plus stores in Chicago, IL; Bloomington, IN; Overland Park, KS; and Charlotte, NC.
