10 Things You Can Do With Your Borders Gift Cards
A Borders, the second-largest US bookstore chain, store displays banners and placards announcing closing business in Washington, DC, on March 3, 2011. Borders filed for bankruptcy last month, the latest blow to an industry hard hit by competition from electronic readers and online booksellers. Borders said it planned to close around 30 percent of its over 640 stores in the United States as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, which protects the company from its creditors while it reorganizes.
