The Bloomsburg University campus store brings a different light to the campus and showcases a great importance of Bloomburg University. Between events, student support, providing supplies of all kinds, and having any apparel available at the tip of your fingertips.
A positive atmosphere fills your mind as soon as you walk into the building. There are many people in the building of Soltz waiting in line to order food from the various places. Chick-fil-A on the left and Qdoba on the right. Some are sitting at a table with friends having conversations while studying or eating their meals. Straight ahead when you walk through the doors, after all the commotion, the Bloomsburg campus store appears. Once you enter the store, past the two sets of sensors, the commotion stops. The store is very peaceful. People are all over the store looking at the large variety of items. Men and women browsing the racks of sweatshirts and sweatpants trying to find the right ones. Picking up the various shirts off the tables and placing it against their torso to see if it will fit perfectly. Some have wondered away from the clothing and have started looking at the different hats and lanyards. Looking through the various colors of lanyards, some pink, grey, black, burgundy, and yellow. There are other people more towards the back of the store talking to an employee about new books they need for the new semester.
At the check-out counter, a lady in a Bloomsburg University tee shirt is standing against the counter, glancing at everyone as they look through the store. With a smile on her face, she starts talking to me. I start to ask her some questions about her experiences here. She was more than happy to explain.
"I have worked here for almost 10 years, and I have nothing negative to say about the Bloomsburg store. Everyone I work with is so kind and the new people I meet every day is amazing." she exclaims.
The Bloomsburg University store has a wide variety of options. It has everything a college student may need. There is the clothing section where anyone can find any apparel they desire. Next to the apparel is a section that has snacks and drinks if anyone is feeling hungry or thirsty. There is a wide variety of options to choose from. First thing, on the left are isles of snacks. Against the wall, the cooler section provides milk, ice cream, and any other cold treats. There are also personal necessities available in that section. In the back corner, the store has almost any supplies someone may need for projects or schoolwork. There are bright poster boards, pens, pencils, notebooks, glue sticks, highlighters, and paper. On the right side of the school supplies, there is a small counter where students can purchase any books they might need for the semester.
The University store gives back to the college community in many ways. The employees decorate for parent's weekend at Bloomsburg in the fall. They set up a hotdog stand right outside of the store on the platform right before you walk into the building. The employees also support and help any clubs get ready for events at Bloomsburg. The final gesture that Bloomsburg University store does to help is setting up and planning events for the students.
"There are many strengths about my job here at the university store. I think that it is amazing that my employers will always work with my schedule and give me a hand. The best thing in my opinion is that they put the students first. Any student employee gets to choose the hours that will work best with their schedule before I am given my hours for the week." the woman at the check-out counter explains.
The store on campus gives back to the college community and helps, supports, and understands the students that go into the store looking for some help. The store is a peaceful place for students to shop around without leaving the campus, and have access to snacks, drinks, and school supplies. Afterall, the Bloomsburg University campus store is a helpful and positive environment for students on and off campus.
