UM Bookstore

[Da Boyz Mom]

FYI: If you recently ordered Grizgear from the bookstore, don't count on it arriving before the game. I just called and spoke to the store manager and he said they are absolutely slammed with orders and are way behind. I placed my order on 12/22 and it still hadn't shipped as of today. He did manage to get it in the mail for me but I would imagine he won't be doing that for everyone that calls. On the one hand it's great but on the other hand it's pretty tough for them. He said he actually closed down the store to in store shopping this week in order for them to be able to get these orders processed.

Thanks DBM. I almost pulled the trigger on a few things yesterday so kind of glad I didn't.

They are owned by MSU, so I avoid them completely anyway.

Are you thinking of The M Store?

There just aren’t many options quite frankly. Universal is owned by a Cat, but they stock very well and represent all Montana schools. I give them business because they employ people and are a good small business/employer. Bob Ward & Sons. Won’t grace their doorstep again. They won’t stock Up Top merch and they are out of state owned. Don’t know what they are doing apparently, because the place is a ghost town.

I mean business wise it would be pretty foolish to alienate 50% of your potential clients. Haha

What about M store downtown Missoula?

Scheels does a great job throughout the state stocking Griz gear.

I've found Fanatics the best way to go.

Yes, as Rgriz stated, the M store downtown is the one owned by the MSU bookstore.

The UM Bookstore is fine and NOT owned by the MSU Bookstore.

Confirmed! Thank you

I feel gross just posting anything from the Excrement, but this lays out the M store acquisition:

I don’t agree with this take on Colter.
