Hilco Merchant Resources LLC, SB Capital Group, Tiger Capital Group LLC and Gordon Brothers Group won the bidding to handle the liquidation sales, according to Bloomberg.



The stores to be shuttered operate under the Borders, Waldenbooks, Borders Express and Borders Outlet names, according to a court filing.
