Partnership Brings Space-Saving Organizing
Essentials To Students In Time For Move-In
WESTCHESTER, Ill., Aug. 8, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Follett Higher Education, North America's largest campus retailer, and
The Container Store (TCS), the leading specialty retailer of
organizing solutions, custom spaces, and in-home services, today
announced the launch of pop-up shops across 36 Follett college
campus bookstores. As part of the partnership, campus stores will
carry select products from The Container Store, providing more
on-campus solutions to support students' academic and living
needs.
"Our innovative partnership with The Container Store helps us
expand on our mission to inspire, enable, and celebrate the
academic journey by ensuring students have the dorm essentials they
need to feel prepared," said Jeremy
Bare, Follett Higher Education Chief Merchant. "Whether
students need last-minute items for their dorm room or do not have
access to off-campus retail options, our partnership enhances the
collegiate experience by anticipating what students want to help
them feel organized and making it as simple as possible to deliver
the items they need."
A curated collection of solutions from The Container Store is
now available in pop-up shops at campus bookstores across 36 major
universities including the University of
Georgia, University of Miami,
University of Florida, Boston College, New York
University, and Stanford
University. Students will have access to a wide range of
products like best-selling storage bins and organizers,
multi-purpose 3-tier carts, cleaning and laundry essentials, table
lamps, cordless vacuums, and more to meet their campus living
needs.
"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring The Container
Store's innovative, space-saving solutions directly to students on
campus for the first time through our partnership with Follett," added Stacey Shively, The Container Store Chief
Merchandising Officer. "Not only do the pop-up shops enable us
to get our brand in front of a younger audience, they also expand
our reach into markets where we don't have a presence for students
to shop our college assortment in person."
Through the fall back-to-school season, hundreds of thousands of
students across the country will have firsthand access to The
Container Store solutions at Follett campus bookstores. By prioritizing
access and convenience, the partnership will help support students
throughout their academic journey while fostering memorable campus
retail experiences.
