Our Story

Our Mission & Approach

We transform campus stores into successful operations. We're a financially independent, woman-owned business that got its start 27 years ago in Arkadelphia, AR.

We're selective about the partnerships we embark on. We look for financially sound partnerships in communities where we can integrate local vendors and support the brand and campus in a customized, community-first way.  

Our approach to course materials is centralized so we can pass on savings to students, in part by leveraging the five million textbooks we own. We decentralize merchandise, meaning the buying decisions are entirely based on community wants, needs, and demographics. This unlocks latent demand and potential and drives top and bottom line growth.

Technology as a foundation

We achieve sustainable growth without the limitations of one-size-fits-all providers because of our technology.  

100% Cloud | 100% Web

Our modern framework allows us to remain flexible and move fast to meet trends and overall needs of the campus community.

PCI Compliant and Secure

Our platform is designed in a way that meets PCI compliance standards, and is verified secure by third party audits.

Engaged In the Community

We train, hire, and even live in the communities where we partner. Understanding the campus and community gives us the footing we need to run a successful operation.

We integrate local vendors and other community spirit into our stores in a decentralized decision-making framework which drives more value to both you and us.
