The new and improved store, on the main floor of the Arts building, closed in April and re-opened at the end of October. The shared space between the university and Canada Post should allow for more people to conduct their business.

“It’s an important spot,” said Mark Jagoe, Bookstore manager, “because it’s so busy. We used to sell clothing and greeting cards here, but not anymore.”

Jagoe said the new Tuck Shop is less cluttered and brighter thanks to cleared space by the windows. The products for sale, like stationery and snacks, are focused on the needs of their clientele, he added, including students and staff.

The Canada Post location on the main floor of Place Riel has been closed in favour of the larger space in the Tuck Shop and in preparation for renovations to that building.
