The new GVSU Laker Store will celebrate a soft opening Monday, April 13, at its new location in the Marketplace, located in the Science Laboratory Building on the Allendale Campus. The former bookstore, located in the Kirkhof Center, closed Thursday, April 9.  

The 45,000-square-foot, two-story store will include new services and products, including Apple electronics and computers.

Jerrod Nickels, manager of the store, said the Apple products will be available to purchase this summer by students, faculty and staff members. The store will sell most Apple products, except iPhones. 

Nickels said being an Apple-authorized seller means the store can also provide service repairs and diagnostics for the technology. He said the store will continue to provide those same services for non-Apple devices. 

Hours of operation for the GVSU Laker Store are Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m.; Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. 

The former bookstore, located in the Kirkhof Center, will be renovated this summer into additional food service space.

A grand opening for the GVSU Laker Store is planned for September.
