What We Offer
Solutions designed to fit your campus, no matter the size, format, or footprint.
CBT offers bookstore models that are customized to meet each institution’s goals, space, and budget. Whether you need a year-round physical store, a short-term seasonal setup, or a digital-first approach, we work closely with campus partners to build the right solution from the ground up.
Full-Service Store
A fully staffed, year-round campus store offering textbooks, apparel, supplies, and tech. Includes integrated POS, inventory systems, and in-person support aligned with Banner and LMS platforms.
Hybrid Setup
A blended model combining on-site service and a full eCommerce platform. This setup is ideal for campuses that want flexible access without the cost of full-time operations.
Seasonal Pop-Up
Temporary bookstore installations during key times like back-to-school and buyback. We manage setup, staffing, and logistics to keep it simple and effective.
Online-Only Store
A fully branded, mobile-friendly website offering course materials, merchandise, and 24/7 access. This model supports campuses with limited space or a preference for digital-first service.
Why It Matters
Flexibility gives your campus the right fit without the trade-offs.
Each institution operates under different constraints. Space, staffing, student population, and budget all vary. That is why CBT designs bookstore models that align with your specific environment rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.
A flexible approach ensures you receive only what you need, whether that is a full-service operation with daily support or a seasonal pop-up designed around peak periods. We work closely with your team to keep operations efficient, responsive, and student-focused.
By removing unnecessary overhead and adapting to your goals, CBT helps institutions streamline services while maintaining control, improving access, and delivering a better experience for students and faculty.

Additional Benefits
CBT provides rapid setup and seamless transitions, allowing your campus to launch or change bookstore models without disruption. Every store is custom-branded to reflect the institution’s identity, from signage and website design to packaging and merchandise presentation.
As your campus grows or shifts direction, our models scale with you. We can easily expand or adapt services based on enrollment, staffing, or seasonal demand. Pop-up bookstores are also available on request, making it simple to support campus events, orientation, or short-term needs without long-term commitments.
We focus on community by hiring local staff whenever possible, creating a more personal and responsive experience for students and faculty. Behind the scenes, our integrated technology tracks trends and performance, providing real-time data that helps inform smarter decisions and long-term planning.
