Borders Bookstore now open in Gig Harbor

Posted by Matt Thomson

To the delight of some Gig Harbor residents and the dismay of others, Borders Books is now open in Gig Harbor’s new Uptown Shopping Center on Pt. Fosdick Drive.  Borders is the first store to open in the new shopping mall that some say is long over due and others argue is out of place in our little community. 

Borders should provide a great place for residents to not only purchase books, magazines, and music, but also provide a great gathering spot as well.  The Harbor’s smaller, privately owned bookstores should still be able to flourish due to their waterfront locations (high foot traffic) and quaint, tourist-friendly atmospheres.

    Hopefully, large and small can co-exist with both being successful. Growth is inevitable, but if well-controlled it can be beneficial.
