leefamily23 Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 One of our local Walden Books is closing. I don't know if this is true of other locations. I know there are some other posters on this forum from my area- so if anything maybe this will help them. It's the one at the McKinley Mall in Hamburg, NY. They have 40 % of all regularly priced merchandise Then an additional 75% off any clearanced books- I'd say 30% of the store has been clearanced. 75% off all calenders and 75% off all local interest books. My husband likes "paranormal studies"- I got 3 books of local paranormal interests for $8.xx.
Team G Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 The Walden Book store in Westroads Mall in Omaha, NE closed last week.
sadmom5 Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 They closed one a couple miles from me here in so cal. but sent me a coupon to use at their other stores. I think they are closing the ones that don't do good business
bayhaysay Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 There is a Waldenbooks in our mall. I haven't heard that it's closing. Of course I didn't know that Fazoli's closed either till I went through the non working drive through.
tlock1945 Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Our local store recently closed too, I heard Borders bought Walden. A Borders opened in the same area right after Walden closed.
lorbor132 Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 is it a nation wide closing from the buy out from borders or what?
Kara1204 Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 There is a Waldenbooks in our mall. I haven't heard that it's closing. Of course I didn't know that Fazoli's closed either till I went through the non working drive through. How long did you wait at the speaker thingy before you gave up and drove off mad?
TerryAnn Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Waldenbooks and Borders were always under the same 'hat' ... Borders was the big mostly stand alone stores and Waldenbooks the small stores usually in the mall. They are also Amazon.com. Best job I ever had working for them.
buttaflye Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 The one in Kings Plaza Mall in Brooklyn is closing tomorrow. I'm going today to use a Borders gift card that was given to my daughter for her last birthday. When I stopped by last week, all merchandise was 40% off. We used to have a B. Dalton also but that closed years ago. Now the mall won't have any.
DaveL Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Borders bought WaldenBooks awhile ago. Some were even renamed as Borders Express. Maybe they are closing the ones that are unprofitable or too close to a Borders store.
bayhaysay Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 How long did you wait at the speaker thingy before you gave up and drove off mad? long enough
justlisa27 Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Our Walden Books closed yesterday. All bargain books were $1 and everything else was 40% off. The line was outrageous and you couldn't really walk through the store to see what they had but my DS got some great deals.

theboyzmom Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 OMG! I'll have to go to our mall and see if our Waldenbooks is there! Since it's right down the hall from Target and Old Navy, it'll be worth it

leefamily23 Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 I guess the Border's thing makes sense in our area then. They are putting a new Border's in just 1/8 of a mile from the mall.
DaveL Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 So what do you like the best, Borders or Barnes and Noble?
Madettica Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Ack,just found out last night, my borders down the street near the mall closed
amyers12345 Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 ours switched to a Border's Express quite a while back. Of course, I only go to the mall about 3 times a year, so I can't give you an exact time.
