Business Prepares for the Chaos of College Welcome Week at Lope Shop
The Lope Shop at Grand Canyon University Gears Up for Welcome Week
The Lope Shop, the campus retailer at Grand Canyon University, is preparing for a busy Welcome Week from August 25th to September 1st. During this period, the store is expecting to welcome around 18,000 to 20,000 customers.
To cater to the influx of students, the Lope Shop is increasing its staff. The retailer will nearly triple its student workers from 20 to 25 per shift, and it will also add 20 to 30 additional staff members for Welcome Week.
The store's interior is getting a fresh makeover as well. Wood paneling, a purple tile backsplash, and purple-painted beams on the ceiling will give the Lope Shop a new look.
The focus of the new merchandise is on fresh Nike gear to help students represent Grand Canyon University in style. However, it's worth noting that the Lope Shop also sells hydroponics garden products and Hugarounds stuffed animals, although specific mentions of these items for Welcome Week were not found in the search results.
For those seeking these specific new items, it may be best to contact the Lope Shop directly or check GCU's official announcements closer to or during Welcome Week for updates.
The Ink'd Greetings kiosk, where students can create personalised greeting cards, has been moved from the back of the store to the front for easier access. Additionally, a dorm display will be placed in the middle of the women's section of the Lope Shop.
The Lope Shop is also introducing Hugarounds, microwave-safe stuffed animals, to provide comfort and relieve neck soreness. Youngsters visiting the shop can also design their own version of GCU with coloring books.
Welcome Week is one of the two busiest times of the year for the campus retailer, along with Family Weekend. With the preparations well underway, the Lope Shop is set to welcome students back to campus in style.
