How it all began

In 1997, Textbook Brokers began its journey to becoming a leader in collegiate retailing while operating off-campus bookstores across the country. As the industry and Textbook Brokers evolved, Textbook Brokers was on the forefront of innovation.

Textbook Brokers was one of the first brick-and-mortar retailers to sell books on Amazon, offer online commerce, and rent books to students.

Recognizing an opportunity

Throughout the years, Textbook Brokers’ principals saw the exorbitant pricing and lack of flexibility of traditional on-campus operators first-hand. Recognizing an opportunity to better serve customers by offering competitive pricing paired with exceptional customer services, Textbook Brokers’ on-campus bookstore model was envisioned as a flexible model with the goal being to compete directly with online-only retailers.

In 2013, Textbook Brokers opened its first on-campus full service bookstore at the University of Central Arkansas.
