The Red Zone

[Scott Malkinson]

So, I guess it’ll be mostly a B & N, with books and stuff, but also some Red Zone gear? How do they do it at miss state?

It's just like the RZ but much better selection and variety

To be clear, this is not a Barnes and Nobles store. Barnes and Nobles College (BNC) and Fanatics will be taking over the operation of our bookstores. That includes the Union, Redzone, Baseball stadium as well as the trailer.

When will it reopen?

When will it reopen?

Supposed to reopen in March.

When will it reopen?

They are shooting for March 14.

I texted them last week and they said they don’t have enough employees to keep all the locations open.

Yeah, that’s because they told their current staff wages were going down and hours were going up and benefits were probably being cut.

Anyway, hopefully within a month.

There’s a good possibility that we will have better choices for jerseys as well.

I want the thin LOUISIANA hoodies the Football staff wears. Can’t find them anywhere.

There’s a good possibility that we will have better choices for jerseys as well.

Also a good possibility we get more merchandise that says LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE and has yellow and chili peppers like they often have at Academy and other oblivious national retailers.

That’s what I liked about the Red Zone. They knew better than to stock stuff like that.

IDK about that. Reading the good write up that cypremort provided yesterday about this gives me encouragement that they will be more in-tune to what we want. This quote in particular is what I’m referring to, but the article in general is a good read and I suggest anyone interested in this read it:

”BNC will maintain its relationships with campus partners and remain responsible for staffing and managing the day-to-day operations of its campus bookstores. It will also work closely with its campus partners to ensure that each BNC campus store will maintain unique aspects of in-store merchandising, including localized product assortments and specific styles and designs that reflect each campus’s brand.”
