Bookseller Borders has found a potential bidder in the form of Gores Group. The private equity firm has shown interest in acquiring 200 of Borders’ 405 stores. The deal would keep the bookstore chain operating as a going concern in the wake of it filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy in February. Since then the retailer has been soliciting offers for the company amid mounting losses and tense discussions with publishers that supply the chain.
