A total giant in the book and music world, Borders was a worldwide brand with over 1,200 shops and over 36,000 employees working under their name. Failing to adapt to a world that was increasingly drawn towards the likes of e-books and online streaming services, their fall was quick and ruthless in nature. Unable to find a suitable investor to guide it through the challenges it was facing, all of Borders’ stores were closed by the end of 2010.
