Borders to close more bookstores, including West End location

The West End location of Borders will close by late May, according to a new list of store closings released late Thursday by Borders Group Inc.

The company filed for bankruptcy last month and announced the closing of 200 stores nationwide, including the Cool Springs Borders superstore in Tennessee.


The new list of closings includes an additional 28 locations not previously announced. The West End Borders, located at 2525 West End Avenue, is among the new locations expected to close. Borders now plans to close a total of 228 of its 642 U.S. stores.
