About Borders Group, Inc.
Founded in 1971 as a small, two-room used bookstore in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Borders Group rose to become the second-largest bookstore chain in the United States. In addition to selling books, the retailer sold cds and dvds, calendars, magazines, and board games. In 2004, Starbucks subsidiary, Seattle’s Best Coffee, started operating cafes within Borders stores. To compete against Barnes and Noble and Amazon in the rapidly growing e-reading market, Borders sold six e-books devices and opened an e-book store where customers could download books to the Borders e-reader app on their desktop, phone, or tablet. At its peak, the company operated more than 650 stores and employed over 35,000 people.
Borders also operated as Borders Books, Walden Book Company, and Waldenbooks.
The former headquarters of Borders was located in Ann Arbor, MI.
