The University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) Stores have been a longtime system partner with MBS. We recently sat down with Michael Herrick, Director, UMD Stores, to discuss what his experience has been like with the MBS system as a new store director (June 2022) and the functionality the system offers that can help him achieve his store goals.
The transformative nature of 2020 has affected nearly every aspect of the college store. So, what does that mean for course materials and how has it impacted distribution? This post will explore industry changes and how MBS is working to help college stores.
