Borders

This place is going out of business but its still got great service and great prices. It’s hard to find things because they don’t have a computer system but the friendly workers will tell you in what section everything is, or is supposed to be. There is a crazy liquidation sale going on right now and I saved more then 50% when I went.

Thank you Borders for your time in Hawaii. YOU WILL BE MISSED

I fear for the world seeing the book industry floundering and populatiry growing among some of the most retarded television shows in the history of man… It makes me wonder if that’s how they’ll win… they destroy our intelligence with TV and the bankruptcy of bookstores and make us weak and lazy with their mind numbing video games of doom and warcraft…
Fight back for humanity!!! Read a book!!!

I’m really sad to see them close doors. I remember spending my college-​study days here. They aren’t as snobby as Barnes and Noble and they let you park your ass on the floor with your Starbucks to read a good book. I also enjoyed their 40% off coupon. Thanks for the great memories Borders!

Border’s won’t be the same after they close down. Everything is on sale with at least a 20% discount now and the discounts are becoming larger as it gets closer to closing day. I’m sure that as deeper the discount gets, the less selection there will be, though. So get there now! Electronic readers are taking over the world!
I have gone a couple times since they began their sale since I was in the mall. This location is convenient with good selections on books and movies. It is also equipped with a Starbuck’s inside. Go early in the morning while everything has been neatly straightened out because later in the day it becomes a mad house. Borders, you will be missed.

Waikele was my favorite, and IMO, the best, but Borders I’m going to miss you *sniff* Going to Pearlridge will not be the same anymore :’(

Ok, I love borders. Bc i could go get some starbucks and grab a book and read. But when borders offers a 1 year old chocolate bar and I buy it. OMG. That chocolate looked delicious till i opened the wrapper. It made my happiness from a 8 to a 2. But overall borders has a wide variety of books to read and buy from and sadly they are closing.

Well, its almost a moot point for me to write this review now. Sadly, Borders is going out of business island wide. It is sad because it was one of the few places on island where you could still buy books, movies and music with a decent selection.
It isn’t entirely incomprehensible as to why they are closing though. Even with the current liquidation sale, the items I looked at today could still be had on
for several dollars less. Perhaps its just the cost of running a brick and mortar store in Hawaii, but they could never compete on prices. Not to mention the rise of e-​readers.
This Borders location was always the busiest. For my wife and I, it was our preferred place to park. With StarBucks right there, plenty of close parking and some of our favorite items for purchase (books!), it was always a logical choice. The employees here were always easy to find and very polite and helpful. The only real complaint that I had was on the restrooms. They were closed very often, and when they weren’t, you sometimes had to get a coin from an employee to use them. They also happened to be the filtheist restrooms that I’ve seen outside of a Kentucky gas station.
In all, Hawaii will be a sadder, less well read place for the closing of these stores.

Get your books before they close down!
I’m sad that they’re closing. Going to Borders on the weekends truly was one of my past times. The staff there’s really nice too.
There’s a lot of parking and the Starbucks inside’s a plus.
Borders Pearlridge, you truly will be missed.

I love it at Borders. They have a very good magazine selection as well as an extensive book section. The Hawaiiana section is really well stocked. I also like browsing and listening to the music. I just hope that Borders can survive and keep some stores in Hawaii open. I’ve been to most of the Border’s stores statewide, including Hilo (closed), Kahului (closed) and Waikele, also closed. It’s too bad, I remember when Honolulu Book Stores closed and Borders came in, now it’s happening all over again. I just hope for the best for them, I’m a fan!

I love this borders branch… it’s right by pearlridge mall. so if you ever get tired of shopping around or window shopping around. this is a good place to relax, and read some books or magazines… good that starbucks is right next to it too…
the branch has a great selection of books for kids, teens, and adults alike. this is where i get my paulo coelho books! :)

I usually love Borders but the Pearlridge one threw me off with their coin. Operated bathrooms. You need to go to front desk to get this special coin to open the bathroom!!! Yikes I hope all Borders don’t go this route! As far as the store itself it’s ok. Nothing special. Pretty much like the other ones.

Lots of books to choose from, great selection of magazines, but the blurays & new release dvds are way too expensive. It’s better if you get your movies from Best Buy, Target, or Walmart.

Books and Coffee, this is a perfect place to get away from the world and just relax. A great selection of books and the options to order books from Books In-​Print system. Ok ok I worked at Borders maybe 18 years ago when I was in highschool so I do know alittle about what is going on.
Borders nationwide is closing stores. In a age time when the computer has taken everything over… electronic versions of books, internet, etc… traditional book stores are loosing its appeal to the younger generation.
Need a break… head to your Borders, grab a book, sit and read away.

It was my birthday weekend, (yes I said it WEEKEND, ha, it’s not just a birthday-​day but a birthday weekend for me!)
And no, I am definitely not a diva, it just always, for as long as I can remember have been a 3-​day celebration for me when it comes to my birthday.
I think it’s because my birthday is connected to the same time period as Valentine’s Day that I have the good fortune of streeeetcchiiiing it out!
So my parents gave me a gift card to Borders and I had the opportunity to peruse through the business book section.
I picked up 2 solid business leadership books that I have been wanting to buy but haven’t done so yet just because I was trying to save moolah.
But now with the gift card, yep, I splurged! Yeah, me!
I was feeling über generous so I even bought my hubby one of his fave magazines.
So overall it was an awesome day!

This store has an amazing photography section. :-). It’s very clean in there and the sales people are great!

Every so often they offer a coupon and that is when I come. (You can find coupons by googling «Borders Coupon».) On this occation, I had a 50% off a single item coupon. Yay, go me!
I only buy magazines and technology books. Borders selection on technology books is inferior to Amazon. They did not carry the book I wanted. Nor is it listed online.
They have super comfy looking love seats. But in the end I did not find the book that I wanted. :(

I recently became a borders rewards member where it is so easy to join and its FREE! Yup. nada dinero for fabulous savings! I’ve only been a member for less than two months but I always get 33%-40% off coupons! Umm heck yeah why not join it’s just shopping SMART!
It is also a timesaver when trying to get a gift for a little spoiled nephew who is on star wars frenzy! They have everything from book series to Legos and your coupons comes in handy!
I usually just walk in here to go to the mall but I always find something that is interesting (you can tell the marketing department is doing a Really good job: P) and having starbucks can never go wrong!

I come here at least once a week to kill time. The staff is always friendly but the prices aren’t the greatest. You can ALWAYS find stuff cheaper online. The only thing I really buy here is magazines.

Love the fact that Starbucks is connected to this borders. Aside from that they have a great selection of magazines, books and journals! They also have many items on sale all the time. Highly recommend signing up for receiving their online email notifications, since they some times give 40% of coupons.
