ANN ARBOR, MI-Borders Ireland Limited is expanding into the Republic of Ireland. The company, which is a subsidiary of global book, music and movie retailer, Borders Group Inc., will open its first store, a 20,000-sf, two-story unit this autumn in the west Dublin suburb of Blanchardstown.

Located in the West End Retail Park just 15 minutes from the Dublin city center, the store will feature a selection of approximately 200,000 books, music, periodicals and movies, including an extensive selection of Irish language titles and books written by Irish authors. The new Borders store at the West End Retail Park will also include a Paperchase shop, which features notebooks, albums, gift wrap, greeting cards and other gift and stationery items, as well as a Starbucks Coffee store.
