The Borders book store in Wareham Crossing will close its doors for good on April 9, according to David Fleming, the Director of Marketing for mall owner WS Development.

Borders Group Inc. announced it will close 200 stores in total after it filed for bankruptcy on February 16. The company explained on its public information website that the "rapidly changing" retail environment for books and music prompted the company to reorganize .

"There are a lot unknowns at this point," Fleming said about the future of the location. He said he is confident the 25,000 square foot building will be rented. "We've had a great deal of interest, but we don't have a replacement at this point."

T.J. Maxx replaced Linens n' Things in a similarly-sized space in Wareham Crossing last year. Fleming said the process of finding a new renter and signing a lease took about 10 months in that case.

The Wareham Crossing Borders currently employs 29 people. The location is one of six the company will close in Massachusetts. Stores in Boston, Burlington, Holyoke, Hyannis, and Peabody are also slated for closure.
