National Retailers Come to Campus

Two household names are coming to the Campus Center. On July 1, the bookstore, operated since 1997 as Tatnuck Bookseller at WPI by local businesspeople Larry and Gloria Abramoff, reopened as a Barnes & Noble College Bookstore, one of about 550 such stores owned by the leading college bookstore company in America. The Abramoffs decided to leave the college market and focus on their bookstores in Worcester and Westborough. This fall, the Class of 1948 Café, which is adjacent to the bookstore, will reopen as a Dunkin’ Donuts store, bringing the popular New England-based chain to WPI. Now, whether hunting for a good read or a hot cuppa Joe, students will find the comforts of home, and names they know, close at hand.
