Brief History

Originally named the University of Idaho Bookstore, the VandalStore has been an integral part of the University of Idaho and Moscow community for decades, serving as the central hub for course materials, school supplies and Vandal spirit gear. Located strategically on the Moscow campus, with an additional location in downtown Boise and a robust online presence (vandalstore.com), the bookstore has evolved to meet the changing needs of students, faculty, staff, alumni and Vandal fans across the globe.

The VandalStore began as a modest campus bookstore in the mid-20th century, primarily offering textbooks and basic school supplies. It was originally managed by the university and located in a small space within the student union building.

As the university grew, so did the bookstore. In the 1980s, the VandalStore expanded its offerings to include branded apparel, technology products and general merchandise to cater to the broader needs of the university community. This expansion coincided with a move to its present location, a larger, more central area of campus, which allowed for greater inventory and a more diverse product range.

In the early 2000s, the VandalStore underwent significant modernization. It embraced digital trends by offering online textbook sales and rentals, which provided students with more convenient and cost-effective options for obtaining course materials. The store also enhanced its retail space to create a more welcoming and efficient shopping experience.

Today, the VandalStore continues to be a vital part of campus life, supporting student success and fostering Vandal pride. It offers a diverse selection of essentials, including textbooks, lab supplies, apparel, merchandise and gifts. With a focus on innovation, sustainability and community involvement, the store evolves to serve the ever-changing needs of the University of Idaho community.
