Waldenbook to close all SA locations
Borders group which owns Waldenbooks, is closing over 200 stores mostly mall based. All three in San Antonio are on the chopping block, Ingram Park, Rolling Oaks, and wait for it... South Park. I have a feeling all those hispanic groups (lulac ect...) are going to freak about the last one.
Full list is here... http://media.bordersstores.com/conte...losinglist.pdf |

So this means SA will be back to having no bookstores south of downtown again?

Waldenbooks sucked anyways.
I think a B&N would do really well in the SE Military area

I've noticed all 5 of B&N's locations are in the Northwest and North Central sides of town (410/Ingram, 410/San Pedro, 1604/Bandera, 1604/La Cantera, and 1604/281). It's a great time for B&N to finally expand outside these areas!

no bookstores to speak on the NE side of town either - there is one at 35 & walzem but they aren't very good IMO.

I think it's called Wind Books? It is mostly a used book store. |
