Voertman's is ALIVE!

[meangreener]

I was in there a few months ago and it looked like it was going out of business. Crap everywhere, roof was falling apart, old, crummy, nasty, etc.

I guess the new ownership has completely remodeled it, because it's bright, new, clean, and not cluttered at all. Also, they have amazing and cheap apparel. Grabbed these two beauties:

The Scrappy one has that on the back.

It's really awesome, I'm impressed with how clean and new it is. Also, the hours aren't useless like they used to be. Thought many who on here thought it'd be closing would like to know it's not! Also, only UNT stuff...with a teeny bit of TWU.

You mean that they no longer close at 4 PM on a Saturday? 6 or 7 PM I could understand but 4 PM on a Saturday sucked when you were wanting to stop by before a MBB game.

Awesome for Voertman's.

I think they're open until 5 or 6 on Saturday and like until 4 or 5 on Sunday.

I'm over by the Language building, I'll look at the hours and post them.

Have they updated their website for us "out of towners?"

I love the new Scrappy. Can't wait to see the new mascot.

[meangreener]

Well, crap, I forgot. I'll drive by during errands later.

I also love the new Scrappy and that he's holding the battle flag, because that needs to be our secondary logo.

This is all because they got bought out by Barnes & Noble but will be keeping the Voertman's name. Hence, they actually have the new Scrappy stuff this soon.

Virtual competition? University bookstore (Barnes & Noble) vs. Voertman's (Barnes & Noble). I won't expect to see any different merchandise - or prices.

They did not sell out to Barnes and Noble. It was sold to an out of state investment group and they going to keep it open for the time being, and yes, the selections have really improved.

Denton Voertman's Checks Out to New Owner

(5/23/2013)

DENTON - Voertman’s bookstore and additional retail concepts on West Hickory St. and West Oak St. near the University of North Texas were sold to an out-of-state investment group on April 30, 2013. Nebraska Book Co. was the seller.

The sale involved a number of adjacent retail, apartment and commercial buildings, which incorporate a total of 37,951 sf. Voertman’s itself occupies 29,900 sf.

Roy Voertman opened the bookstore in 1925, and it was sold to Nebraska Book Co. in 1990.

Oh Rudy, Rudy, Rudy! LMAO!

Now would "THAT" be a great ESPN Halloween Jumbotron trick or treat for all the nation to see at the Rice game on, uh, Halloween Night? (Jeez, I'm just a'kiddin' with that).

Yes, the majority of that block (Sushi Cafe, Subway, some apartments, Voertman's, etc.) had been sold through that New York listing.

Since then, B&N have stepped into the direct management of Voertman's though.

Or so my people tell me.

there is nothing on the website.
