You Said It: What Should Replace Borders?
Everyone's got opinions. Patch is the place to share them. So we asked the Pointes: What should replace the closing Borders in the Village?
The Grosse Pointe Borders is slated to close by late April after the company announced a list of 200 stores nationally that were underperforming. The list is part of the Ann Arbor-based company's restructuring plan after filing for bankruptcy. Its closure will leave a 19,000-square-foot building empty in the Village.
