FA’s Revamped School Store Offers More Than Just Spirit Wear

If you’ve got ‘Raider pride’ and want to traverse around campus in a snazzy new sweatshirt — or perhaps even replace an old toothbrush — you’re now in luck. Chief Financial Officer, Jeremy Angell, and Student Accounts Administrator, Barbara Swayze, recently led the efforts in relocating the school store this summer from its former home in the Alumni building, to its current location in the main building on the second floor.
 
“We always wanted to relocate the store to the main building, but we didn’t have space,” said Swayze. “With some office changes that took place this summer, Jeremy had the idea to relocate his office since it was ideal being right across from the Residential Life office, and centrally located close to the entrance of the main building.”

Many of the improvements to the look and feel of the revamped space can be attributed to Swayze’s background in retail. From slatted walls that provide ample room to hang merchandise to a new point-of-sale system for sales transactions, the store has undergone a complete transformation.

“We wanted to have the store more accessible to our students, parents, and faculty. Many students didn’t even know we had a store on campus,” continued Swayze.  “Our goal was to offer a better shopping experience for our community and to have the necessary room to expand our merchandise down the road. The maintenance team did a fantastic job in renovating the space to look and feel like a retail setting.”

The new school store offers spirit wear like hoodies, t-shirts, polo shirts, as well as logoed merchandise that range from umbrellas and coffee mugs to lanyards and pens.  Plans to expand the store’s offerings will include school supplies, hygiene products, and new athletic-performance clothing, which the Academy has never offered before.

The hours of operation for the school store will be Monday through Friday during business hours, and staff will be on-hand before and after school to assist students.
