Borders Group, Inc. and Roseburg Waldenbooks Store Take Positive Action to Discourage Drug Use Among Youth
Concern expressed by a community volunteer of UMPQUA PARTNERS – For a drug-free future has resulted in Borders Group, Inc. taking positive action to ensure adult oriented product, including magazines, are placed in a top shelf location far away from view of children and teens and adult merchandise is not cross-merchandised with other products intended for children and teens.
Marlene Petersen, one of the founding members of Umpqua Partners, visited Waldenbooks in Roseburg and noted marijuana publications placed in a prominent location behind the counter, surrounded by merchandise marketed to and intended for children or teens. “As a parent, grandparent and community member committed to reducing alcohol and other drug abuse, I was concerned that this product placement was sending the wrong message to our kids and may encourage drug use among youth,” said Petersen. The board of directors of Umpqua Partners agreed.
