The university started looking into privatization after Fallett approached UNC with an unsolicited offer this summer. In order to investigate the matter more thoroughly, the university is currently accepting applications to privatize the stores.
Fallett and Barnes and Noble are the largest campus bookstore companies, running nearly 2,000 across the United States between the two of them.
Fajack said this experience might make the Student Stores more profitable.
“Since they manage so many stores they have retail gurus who know where to place things, how to place things, what to look at, when to do sales,” he said. “Another place they can dramatically increase revenues is it appears they are much better than us at online sales.”

Amazon dominates in everything they do. Hopefully consumers will understand what they are doing to all bricks and mortar retailers if they continue buying everything from Amazon.
