Borders Glendale Officially Closing

Borders is filing for bankruptcy and will close approximately 30% of its stores, including the Glendale location at Brand and Broadway. With the recent closing of the Community Bank at the northeast corner and the closing of Mervyn's several years ago, this will leave the retail locations at Brand and Broadway, ostensibly the heart of downtown Glendale, three-quarters empty. Sorrows can be drowned at BJ's, the only remaining tenant at the intersection.
