710 Bookstore

Another consequence of enrollment drop to 10,000 or under.

Yep, it's sad.  A lot of great Carbondale establishments have gone since I graduated.  Really hope this gets fixed.

Handwritten sign on door today, "Store is closed and will not reopen"

Man, I hate this for Randy, and the other employees. Lots of people have great memories of 710. I wish them all the best in their next steps.

I feel horrible for all who lost their jobs. Hopefully some sort of apparel store for SIU Athletics pops up in the future. 

I also hope this doesn’t affect the Under Armour contract.
