Filed bankruptcy this AM. Stores in Apex, Cary, Greensboro, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh (Six Forks) to close. Too bad, I always liked their store.

Is that both stores on Six Forks? There is one on East Six Forks (ITB) and one on Six Forks at Strickland.

It's the corporation overall.

As I heard it, Borders made a huge mistake in their entry to internet selling, when they engaged Amazon and let Amazon have access to their customer data.

I think it is the store on Six Forks/Wake Forest...so yes ITB

Yes, but they're only closing a third of their stores, so the question was which of the two Six Forks stores (or both) is closing.

Anybody know if there is a list of closings anywhere? I looked for one, but couldn't find it.

Found the list here...including a link for a sortable list.

It is the store on East Six Forks (ITB) that is closing. Looks like for now the store at Six Forks/Strickland will remain open.

I guess that means liquidating inventory! Like I need more books...
