Yea, the location at Wheelock seems to have more walk-through traffic compared to their Prologue store right at the top of ION. And Popular's own HARRIS brand (which seems to me like it isn't taking off in a big way) doesn't seem to match up to the Borders' name.
I thought Popular business model is better than Borders.
So why should popular buy it? Provide community services?
There is a reason why Borders can't survive. Unlike Amazon and Barnes and Nobles, It failed to handle the decline in hardcopies' purchases and rise to the challenges of online ordering and ebooks.
Unlike Kino(jap supporters), it does not have a niche.
Without the niche in assessment books and exam crazy parents, it will be hard for popular to survive too.
