The Cornell Store exists to serve Cornell University’s students, faculty, staff, alumni and visitors by providing a specialized selection of products and services, including textbooks, textbook rental, computer and tech products, general books, Cornell clothing and gifts, and various convenience items. We will consistently deliver excellent service to our customers; a rewarding work experience to our coworkers; and outstanding fiscal performance to the university. The Cornell Store is fully owned and operated by Cornell University; store revenue supports university operations, facilities and programming. History of The Cornell Store:
The origins of The Cornell Store began in 1895 when a group of students formed the Cornell Cooperative Society in Morrill Hall. After World War II the Co-op became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cornell. Plans for a new store building were developed in the 1960s, at the main store’s current site.
