Borders close

Redmond Town Center - Borders

Borders still operates 9 stores in Washington state, Seattle Times Newspaper, July 19,2011:

"Nine Borders locations are expected to close in Washington state as the bookseller prepares to liquidate its remaining stores.

Susie Detmer, senior director of retail services for Cushman & Wakefield, said once Borders closes its doors, she expects its storefronts to stay vacant through the holidays. Those that are a single level will go the quickest because of their great locations, she said.

Stores in the Redmond Town Center, downtown Seattle, Southcenter Mall and Tacoma, however, will be problematic to lease because they are two levels, she said.
