A plan that works

Design | Build | 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

Support Icon
Partner Fiercely

We are extremely thoughtful about the partnerships we embark on, but when we do partner, we partner fiercely. We defend your brand, collaborate with your community, and become one with your campus. We embark as equals in partnerships we intend to last for decades.

Support Icon
Delight Students

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.

Support Icon
Run Profitably

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

Support Icon
On-premise course materials

We own 5,000,000 (yes million) textbooks; making us one of the largest textbook providers in the U.S. This has become a unique strength to provide students with the physical materials they need at affordable prices.  

Support Icon
Virtual course materials

If your campus is ready to shed the floorspace and outsource the logistics of course materials entirely, we're built for that. We ship to millions of students every year.  

Support Icon
IA, EA, and Hybrid

We work in deep partnership with digital content providers to ensure your digital and day one programs are executed beautifully.
