Borderlands Books to Remain Open For at Least Another Year

Borderlands Books has announced it will remain open until at least March 31st of next year. The bookstore, which had only recently declared it was shutting down at the end of March 2015, made the announcement on their blog this past Saturday.

A sponsorship program, created after a February 12th community meeting was held to discuss ways to save the store, has provided Borderlands with the additional revenue the owner says he needs to remain profitable. Alan Beatts, the store’s owner, explained the program:

Starting immediately we will be offering paid sponsorships of the store.  Each sponsorship will cost $100 for the year and will need to be renewed every year.  If we get 300 sponsors before March 31st, we will stay open for the remainder of 2015.

As the sign above attests, Borderlands reached their goal of 300 sponsors and as a result will remain open for at least another year.
