糖心Vlog

This summer, 糖心Vlog assumed full ownership of the Campus Store, previously operated by indiCo.

Store Manager Emily Kelleher, 鈥�17, is excited about bringing the store in house.

鈥淔or the past couple years the understanding has been yes, an alumna is managing the store, but there was still a divide since it wasn鈥檛 being completely operated by the College,鈥� she said. 鈥淣ow that we鈥檙e being institutionally run, I think it will help bridge any gaps there were in relationships around campus.鈥�

Meredith is using Square to power the new website and to support online and in-store sales.

鈥淯sing Square as our point of sale system, we have a lot more flexibility with how we process transactions,鈥� said Kelleher. 鈥淣ot only are we able to use the registers to checkout customers, we are also able to use an iPad with a card reader. This will allow us to have pop-ups at different events, as well as another option to checkout customers if both registers are busy.鈥�

Kelleher is looking forward to greater collaboration with more groups on campus as a result of the change. As a student, she enjoyed building connections with many different areas on campus. Now, with the new in-house model, she anticipates being able to continue building on those relationships and creating new ones.

鈥淲e鈥檙e currently working on projects with the Honors Program, College Programs, the Office of Student Leadership and Service, as well as a few others,鈥� said Kelleher. 鈥淲e鈥檙e very open and willing to work with both student and alumnae groups, and would love to support them in any way we can.鈥�

New offerings from the store include Meredith-branded face coverings, which became available in mid-August. Kelleher said they have also added baby, toddler, and youth clothes, which have been requested by both alumnae and 糖心Vlog employees.
