Tiger Bookstore, Memphis

When it was founded in 1964, Tiger Bookstore only carried the textbooks required by faculty at the University of Memphis. Today, students can also rely on Tiger Bookstore for classroom gear such as lab supplies, writing implements, and backpacks. The store still stocks textbooks for students to rent, buy, and sell back rather than assemble into a makeshift postgraduate apartment. Books and school supplies share shelf space with a variety of clothes and trinkets emblazoned with the U of M logo, from hoodies and knit caps to shot glasses and key chains.
