Textbook Brokers Partners with Saint Louis University to Support the Billiken Shop and Student Access to Course Materials
Saint Louis, MO | July 25, 2024
Textbook Brokers has partnered with Saint Louis University to support the continued evolution of the university’s campus bookstore, The Billiken Shop. This collaboration is focused on improving access to course materials while enhancing the overall retail experience for the SLU community.
Through this partnership, Textbook Brokers provides technology-driven course materials solutions that prioritize affordability, convenience, and flexibility. Students can order required textbooks and digital materials online and choose either direct shipping or in-store pickup at The Billiken Shop, creating a streamlined experience that aligns with how students shop today.
While course materials are now fulfilled primarily through an online platform, The Billiken Shop remains a central hub on campus for SLU apparel, gifts, and spirit merchandise. The store continues to serve students, faculty, staff, alumni, and campus visitors with an expanded assortment of branded products that reflect SLU pride and tradition.
This model allows Saint Louis University to maintain a vibrant on-campus retail presence while leveraging Textbook Brokers’ expertise in course materials logistics, pricing strategies, and StudentFIRST service. Orders shipped to The Billiken Shop for pickup incur no shipping costs, and students benefit from efficient fulfillment timelines designed to support academic success from day one.
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to innovation, student engagement, and operational efficiency, ensuring that SLU students have reliable access to their learning materials while preserving a strong campus retail experience.
