Disappointing that Borders will be closing in Deepdale Shopping Centre. Paid a visit yesterday and the place was busy, the 20% off signs an attraction. It’s good to have had 2 good bookstores in Preston. Borders was a bit different with its Starbucks, Game, Calendar Club and Paperchase and having easy parking. A loss.
What happens to the other places does it all close? Bad time for the staff just before Christmas. Probably the other bookstores don’t like a big stock of 20% off books being available just before Christmas. So it’s bad news all round except for other coffee and game stores.
On the other hand the Deepdale centre seems to be doing well. Can’t say I’ve been a lot but the car parks always seem pretty full, if that means anything. It looks smart, probably one of the best centres of its type in the area. Borders is quite prominent so hope something worthy comes in.
