The General Store Coop

The General Store Co-op is a student-run store which was founded in 1980 to offer students a less expensive alternative to the high Price Center. As a student cooperative, we try to provide the University community with the best quality merchandise at the lowest prices. And we succeed! The General Store Co-op carries items such as selected essential school and office supplies, household and personal items, stationery, clothing, student-made jewelry, food and snack items -- all of which range from 5-25% less than anywhere else on campus.
We also provide a community space to relax between classes, come by and play our vintage Tetris machine for 25 cents, or play Nintendo 64 for free on our big screen TV
One of our newest program is textbook rentals,  which we rent on a quarterly basis for $25 a pop. Some of the books we carry can cost up to $200 new at the bookstore!  Also, we buy back textbooks ALL YEAR round. Stop by to check which books we're carrying.
We encourage everyone to visit the General Store Co-op for our low prices and friendly service. Additionally, anyone is invited to come in and volunteer anytime as volunteers are the backbone of our organization.
