Months of conversation, ideation, and collaboration have led to a new partnership between the AC Proud Shop in Pembroke and the Retail Services team in Ottawa.
As of April 1, 2025, the Ottawa Campus Retail Services team will lend its support in the ongoing management of the Proud shop, including back-end systems, product purchasing, and inventory management; just to name a few.
“This is an opportunity years in the making,” says Doug Holt, Manager, Administrative Services, Pembroke Campus. “We’re excited to continue to work with our colleagues in Ottawa to find new opportunities for our store on the Waterfront Campus.”
Customers will see relatively small changes as the partnership takes hold this spring. The first areas of change will be the store using the centralized cash registers, management information system, and merchandising plans. As the summer progresses, both teams will work together to be ready for a great customer experience for Fall 2025.
“As we get ready for the new academic year customers will see an evolution of the store layout, product offerings, and promotions,” explains Ashish Talwar, Manager, Campus Store Operations. “From a day-to-day perspective Jean will continue to be our welcoming face in the store – we’re lucky to be able to make this transition with the support of Jean’s expertise and experience.”
