The new convenience store on campus, POD, Provisions on Demand, located in the ‘New Hall’ will take the place of the C-Store that was located in the Rebecca Stafford Student Center. The old C-Store is currently closed and there is much discussion with staff, on what will occupy that space.
The new POD is much larger than the old convenience store. Patti Swannack, Vice President for Administrative Services reveals that, “POD is approximately 2,200 square feet, which is about two times the size of the C-store at RSSC.”
Mary Anne Nagy, Vice President for Student Services adds, “The POD will have designated parking spots for students to park if they need to quickly run into the store.”
“The store will be open seven days a week with convenient hours for students, which have been e-mailed already to the student body,” Nagy adds.
For those who may not want to take a walk to the other side of campus to access the store, similar items for purchase such as sandwiches and snacks are available at the food court at RSSC.
POD’s grand opening celebration is on Monday, Sept. 22.
