Our tagline: we do more than exchange product for money.™

Yes, like other retailers, we have an extremely talented team of buyers, merchandisers and marketers researching the latest consumer trends and finding ways to bring in the product selection that our customers are going to need during (and after) their college experience.

Yes, our front-line teams are staffed with smiling, customer-centric students and staff eager to serve the needs of our on- and off-campus customers.

Yes, we have a cutting-edge online presence that enables our customers to find what they need at the click of a mouse or at the beep of a mobile device.

Yes, we’re very interested in growing our business into a successful retail operation. The DIFFERENCE between us and other retailers is WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING.

We don’t work for a company’s shareholders or board of trustees, we work for the students, faculty and staff right here at The University of Arizona. We work to bring cost-savings textbook options, deep discounts on cutting-edge technology, and a wide array of classroom supplies, resources and services to make sure our students are prepared in the classroom.

We bring student scholarships, student employment and professional development. We generate funding for student-led clubs, organizations and events. We contribute to UA colleges, performance arts venues and learning and literacy programming.

While “they” are looking for opportunities to increase revenue—at your expense—to report higher numbers in their quarterly reports, WE are giving it all back to The University of Arizona students and community.

THAT’s what we mean when we say “we do more than exchange product for money.” We do. And it’s not a summary statement. It’s a promise.

How do we do more?
