Borders files for bankruptcy

[Wither]

Sucks to see it go down.

Borders in Winston has its own coffee, similar to Starbucks, but cheaper. I like it a lot, because I like to get a cup of coffee and read a little of the book I am buying before I buy it. Also border's prices are a little cheaper than Barnes and Noble. I don't even consider buying a book on Amazon unless it has a significant preview. I don't have a lot of time to read anymore, and don't want to waste it with a crappy book. I hope the borders in Winston doesn't shut down.

The one in WS is the only one in the triad that was saved. Enjoy!

It never ends.

Times change, and products/companies that don't evolve with the times disappear. Same thing for products that become obsolete.

Unless you make cars, then you can expect to be artificially propped up for decades. Maybe even forever.

I'm shocked an obsolete mega-chain that serves only to encourage loitering can't make it in this economy.

so a company that has a financial section AND self help goes bankrupt??

:lol:

Rep to bof ya...
