With its contract with Barnes & Noble Education expiring, Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, Pa., is switching to Follett Higher Education and prioritizing online book sales.
Per the RMU Sentry, students will purchase books online through the RMU Book Bundle program while the campus bookstore will become a spirit wear, merchandise, and school supply store. In addition to providing the books for the Book Bundle program and managing the redesigned campus store, Follett will also hold pop-up stores at various events on campus and manage new spirit stores that will be created in the next months.
"We all very much appreciate Barnes & Noble's partnership over the years and we're grateful for everything that they did," said RMU chief brand officer Brian Edwards.
