The fate of the last remaining Borders bookstore in Puerto Rico will likely be known in about two weeks when its Ann Arbor, Mich.-based parent company goes to U.S. Bankruptcy Court to seek permission to sell itself. If the petition is denied, the beleaguered bookstore will have to liquidate the assets it has left, including its Plaza las Américas location.
The Plaza las Américas shopping center in Hato Rey will be adding two new tenants to its mix — CH Carolina Herrera boutique and the Disney Store — by the end of the year, mall operators announced Tuesday.
Retail sales apparently got off on the right foot this year, reflecting a 4.2 percent year-over-year increase in January, according to the latest statistics Puerto Rico Trade released Tuesday.
