The store will be located on the southeast corner of Lloyds Expressway and Burkhardt Road. It will stock more than 200,000 book, music, DVD and periodical titles.

"Borders appreciates the value of becoming a part of the community," says Mark Davis, district manager for the new Evansville location. "Our stores host free events such as lectures, author signings, musical performances, children's activities and 'Benefit Days' that support local charities."
