Although it's something of a mess right now, University Bookstore will be a sight to behold in only a few months, said Christopher C. Croson, new director of the retail space across from McDonald's on the first floor of the Student Center. Christopher Croson Remodeling of the bookstore is scheduled for October and November. From top to bottom, everything will be different, but we'll do the work in stages, so we'll remain open and operating 99 percent of the time. Wallace's has more than 90 stores nationwide. The biggest difference between the old and new stores will be the decor.
Customers can sit down and read in comfortable chairs.
The merchandise mix will be somewhat different, too. Sales have been running all summer and are expected to last into fall. Croson anticipates adding more services.
