Student Book Store and Supply
The Student Book Store and Supply (SBS) is located in downtown Clemson, next to Judge Keller's, and partially in the former location of Oobe. It first opened in 1987.
General Info
Typically, the store carries the same textbooks as the Clemson University Bookstore. Many students errantly believe that the store has lower sale prices and higher buy-back prices on books than at the Clemson University Bookstore. Both stores offer price matching guarantees, so you should decide based on convenience of location as opposed to webpage propaganda.
The store stocks a variety of Clemson University merchandise and school supplies. Some supplies, such as paper, notebooks, and pencils, are relatively expensive, but prices on items such as Clemson t-shirts are considered by some to be more reasonable. Students frequently wear colored shirts that say "CLEMSON" in block white letters, which are available from the Student Book Store.
Demise
In March 2012, the rent on the space occupied by SBS has been raised so high that their profit margins have disappeared so the business is being liquidated.
Trivia
- It occupies the location of the Study Hall, Clemson's first downtown "bar", opened in 1967. Other fooderies have occupied the space, including Captain D's Seafood in the 1990's. This corner was the original site of Keller's Store, opened in 1899, but which moved to its current location in 1918.
