Borders Group, parent of the U.S. mainland’s once-dominant book retailer, is marking the final chapter of its 40-year history by seeking the U.S. Bankruptcy Court’s approval Friday to sell itself off to a liquidator, a decision that is expected to immediately trigger a going-out-of-business sale that will wrap up sometime in September.
The decision Thursday by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge overseeing the Borders Chapter 11 proceeding could send the bookstore chain, which still has one location left in Puerto Rico, into a liquidation of its assets.
