Woodbridge, Va. — Those in the market for a used book shelf, CD rack or anything Borders Books used to market their merchandise on got a great deal Monday. All store fixtures – which were also being sold off with the rest of the remaining merchandise after the retailer filed for bankruptcy – were marked half off.
A sign in the store window at Borders on Prince William Parkway in Woodbridge on Monday stated it was the final day for the store that since the early 1990’s served as one of the area’s largest book retailers, and as a place to cozy up with a cup of coffee and read.
The remaining books in the store had also been marked down to four for $1, resembling a community library book sale.
Borders was forced to close all of its stores this summer after failing to find a buyer for the struggling retail chain. Books-A-Million, which has a location inside Potomac Mills mall, voiced interest in purchasing the Woodbridge Borders but the deal fell through.
