NEWARK-One of the complaints of the newly renamed Newark Liberty International Airport (the “Liberty” was recently added as a tribute to 9/11 victims) has been a lack of retailing, especially within older terminals A and B. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the nation’s 12th busiest airport, had earlier set a goal of expanding the facility’s shopping venues through a combination of new stores, kiosks and the expansion of existing stores’ product lines.

That effort has just gotten a boost in the form of Borders Books, which is opening two units. The first store, which is opening today in Terminal A, totals just under 2,000 sf and carries some 8,000 book titles. The second, just under 3,500 sf, will carry 12,000 titles plus a line of gifts when it opens in January in Terminal C. Both stores are bookstore/café combinations, with the café portion operated by Seattle’s Best Coffee.
