University Gear Shop and eCampus.com Selected as Campus Store Service Partners

Following a comprehensive review process, Trinity University has selected University Gear Shop and eCampus.com as our new campus store retail and textbook service partners. This transition marks an exciting step toward enhancing the campus store experience, improving access to affordable course materials, and strengthening the Trinity brand.

After engaging with Campus Bookstore Consultants (CBC) to assess our bookstore operations, Trinity conducted a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process to identify vendors that align with our university’s unique needs and mission. The selection committee carefully evaluated proposals based on quality, innovation, contract terms, and references, ultimately choosing University Gear Shop and eCampus.com as the best fit for Trinity.

University Gear Shop will bring a fresh, innovative, and engaging retail experience, creating a campus store that reflects the Trinity spirit while offering high-quality branded merchandise. eCampus.com will streamline and modernize the textbook adoption process, ensuring a more affordable and accessible course materials experience for students and faculty.

By adopting a hybrid business model, which includes both an online course materials store and a physical retail location, Trinity will offer a more customized and student-friendly experience, while improving affordability and expanding the reach of Trinity-branded merchandise.

We look forward to working with our new partners on a seamless transition in the coming months. More details will be shared as we move forward with transition planning and implementation.
