I love Borders. My kids love Borders. I was so sad when my co-worker exclaimed (on Thursday) that, "OMG the Borders in Waikele is closing!" But at the same time, being the crazy book worm and bargain hunter that I am, I was glad to coincidentally have Friday off. (It was also a State holiday- Prince Kuhio Day.)
After running some errands, my son and I drove over to the Borders in Waikele. We got there shortly after opening and by the time we were ready to leave, the line for the checkout was snaking through half the store. It moved pretty quickly, but still took just over an hour. The best deals are still to be had, IMHO. Right now, all periodicals are 40% off, most of the books for grown-ups are 20% off, toys are 20% off, and kids' books are 10% off. I grabbed 4 different beading magazines plus some reading material to include in a care package for the hubster. My son picked out some manga for his birthday next month. I think we're going to take another cruise through the store in about a month or so to see if we can snag some better deals on books.
The store plans to be closed by the end of May.
