A plan that works

Build | Manage | Grow

Each retail space is unique, and has a potential all its own. We look at footprint, layout, lighting, customer flow, and other unique considerations to create a place students trust and want to be part of.

Most importantly, we work with you without the constraints of centralization or big-box thinking. Your space will be yours, and most likely, unlike any other space.

Our Values

Whether it's carrying a new assortment, having course materials priced better than ever (and in more formats than ever), or serving up surprisingly good coffee, we aim to delight students and invite them back to the store again and again as a central part of their campus experience.

We run profitable operations. This allows us to pay our partners on time, every time, and exceed financial goals. We own our supply chain nearly end to end, and pass our efficiencies all the way through to the bottom line. We're proud of our profitable operating history and it gives us bonafide confidence to seek out new, long-lasting partnerships.

Our Academic Programs
