ʻO ka Borders Group nona kona moʻolelo i nā māhele likeʻole - Borders, Waldenbooks a me Brentano. ʻO Brentanoʻo ka lōʻihi loa o nā hale kūʻai pukeʻekolu i hoʻokumu i ka Borders Group. Ua hoʻokumuʻia ka hale kūʻai o Brentano i ka 1853 ma New York City, ma o August Brentano, he luna nūpepa. ʻO ka lua hope loa o nāʻekolu Waldenbooks, ua hoʻokumuʻia e Lawrence Hoyt, he mea kūʻai hale kūʻai hale kūʻai. Hoʻokumuʻo Hoyt i ka Hale kūʻai puke Walden mua ma ka makahiki 1962 ma Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; ua kapaʻo ia i ka puke puke no ka moʻoleloʻo Henry David Thoreauʻo Walden .
I loko o nā makahiki he mauʻoihana lākou, ua hoʻonuiʻo Brentano a me Waldenbooks i ko lākou mau hale i nā kālepa kūʻai nui. I ka makahiki 1984, ua kūʻaiʻo Kmart iā Waldenbooks; Ua kūʻaiʻo Waldenbooks iā Brentano.

Ua wehe nā kaikuaʻana Borders i nā mea kūʻai'ē aʻe ma Michigan, Atlanta, a me Indianapolis, a ua hoʻokumu i kahi pūnaewele maʻalahi e hiki ai iā lākou ke nānā i nā kūʻai kūʻai puke a me nā waihona puke. Ma waho o ka hoʻohanaʻana i loko o kā lākou puke puke puke, kūʻai lākou i kā lākou Book Inventory Systems (BIS) i kekahi mau puke puke.
I ka makahiki 1985, ua wehe lākou i kā lākou "kūʻai hale kūʻai mua", he hale kūʻai kūʻai nui loa (me kahi kole pa) e lilo i mea hōʻailona o nā mea i hele mai ma hope. I ka makahiki 1988, ua hoʻolimalima lākou iā Robert DiRomualdo, kahi MBA Harvard me ke kūkalaʻoihana, e kōkua i ka hoʻonuiʻana i kaʻoihana. Ma lalo o kāna mau alakaʻi, ua ulu wikiwiki ka pae kūʻai puke Borders i nā makahikiʻehā e hiki mai ana.
