No Saving Woodbridge Borders

Woodbridge, Va. — A plan to save the Borders bookstore in Woodbridge has fallen flat on its face.

Books-A-Million aimed to purchase 30 of the company’s remaining stores all going out of business after the company declared bankruptcy earlier this year.

The bid to buy the store ­­on Prince William Parkway — one of the three Borders in the Washington area and the only location in Virginia Books-A-Million was interested in – collapsed when the two companies could not agree on terms, reports the Washington Business Journal.

Books-A-Million currently has a large book store and coffee shop inside Potomac Mills mall. If the company does acquire the Borders store, there is no word yet on what would happen to the Books-A-Million store inside the mall.

Borders last was unable to find a buyer for the ailing company and begun a massive liquidation of their remaining merchandise.

In February the company closed 30 percent of their stores, including a location in North Stafford. The storefront remains empty.
