COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Athletics announced today that operations of the Tiger Team Store, the official in-venue merchandise provider for Mizzou Athletics, will transition to Follett Higher Education Group beginning July 1.
The operational transition coincides with the opening of a new, expanded Tiger Team Store location inside the soon-to-be-completed North End Zone of Memorial Stadium and follows a competitive RFP process as Mizzou Athletics evaluated opportunities to support the continued growth of its retail operations.
Follett will operate locations at Memorial Stadium, with the main Team Store also having regular weekday business hours, as well as at Mizzou Arena, Hearnes Center and other Mizzou Athletics venues on event days. Fans can expect a seamless transition, with the same level of service, product selection and commitment to Mizzou pride they have come to expect over the years.
"This partnership represents another meaningful investment in the Mizzou fan experience," Mizzou Director of Athletics Laird Veatch said. "The Tiger Team Store has long been an important part of the Mizzou Athletics experience, and we are grateful to our University partners who have successfully operated and grown the store for many years. As we look ahead, this transition allows us to build on that strong foundation while partnering with Follett, whose expertise in collegiate athletics retail creates additional opportunities for innovation and long-term growth."
Follett Higher Education brings more than 150 years of experience in higher education and serves more than 20 million shoppers annually through campus and athletics retail operations nationwide. The company specializes in integrated, in-venue experiences designed to strengthen school pride and deepen fan engagement.
"We are proud to partner with Mizzou Athletics to build on the strong tradition of the Tiger Team Store," said Stephen Bone, Chief Stores Officer at Follett Higher Education. "Our focus is on delivering a seamless transition while introducing new opportunities to engage fans, celebrate school spirit, and support the continued growth of Mizzou's athletics programs."
An opening date for the new Tiger Team Store location inside Memorial Stadium will be announced as construction progresses and occupancy timelines are finalized. The Memorial Stadium location will offer regular business hours in addition to football game days, while the Mizzou Arena Team Store will transition back to operating on arena event days.
Fans will also be able to continue to shop online at www.TigerTeamStore.com.
