- No.. I don't work at Borders. I work at a chain called Basset Book Shop.
- We are owned by KMart also. We were created as KMart's chain to appeal
- to an upscale crowd. The first store was opened in Stamford, CT. The
- 2nd (where I work) was opened in July. Another one opened on Long
- Island. I don't know what others were opened.
- Then KMart bought Borders. I don't know exactly how the two chains are
- going to be merged, but I know they must have plans to do that because
- we now accept Borders gift certificates and credit slips.
