New Buffalo Wild Wings opens today

Buffalo Wild Wings relocated from Massachusetts Street to Iowa Street. The business attributed the move to a desire to appeal more to Lawrence families.

Buffalo Wild Wings will open at its new location at 2624 Iowa St. today. The first 100 customers who attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. will receive a coupon book with 52 vouchers for snack-sized wings, one order for every week of the year, said Nikki Butler, the regional marketing manager for Buffalo Wild Wings.
The new location is about twice the size of the previous location on Massachusetts Street and features more large-screened televisions and seating, in addition to a Jumbotron over the bar area, said Morgan Cormack, a junior from Overland Park. She has worked as a server at the original location since August and will continue to work at the new location.
"It'll be pretty exciting to move and see what happens there," Cormack said.
Greg Johnson, the general manager of the new location, said there were many reasons for the move from the old location downtown.
"We wanted a bigger, brighter concept," Johnson said. "All of our new stores have a little bit different design than the older style from Mass Street. We also were looking for a larger location."
Rumors had circulated that problems with fake IDs were the reason for the change of location, but Johnson said that
rumor was incorrect.
“There is no truth to that rumor at all,” Johnson said. “We have our own responsible alcohol service team that comes in and monitors us and we have had glowing reports from them and we have never been with any violations as far as the city, state or judicial level.”
Rather, Cormack said, the lack of enough parking spaces and the desire to connect to the family atmosphere of Lawrence were a couple of the reasons for the move.

"They [Buffalo Wild Wings corporate] wanted it to be more of a family-oriented restaurant and the one on
Mass was more college-oriented," Cormack said. "They were just really wanting to just change it up a little bit and they wanted to connect more to the family side of Lawrence. That's kind of the impression that I got."

Digital textbooks offer students a cheaper alternative

With countless websites, used bookstores and online capabilities, students have many options beyond buying the traditional bound textbook from the campus bookstore, especially for next semester.
Last fall, the University bookstore partnered with RedShelf, an online textbook distributor, to offer digital course materials to students. RedShelf allows students to read textbooks on any device that connects to the Internet, said Kyle Uhelski, RedShelf's marketing manager, in an email.
Uhelski said some students prefer the digital platform for the affordability, access and portability.
be a custom edition, specific to the University. Because of this, the bookstore's price comparison tool only provides the option of buying a new loose-leaf copy from the University bookstore.
"Our platform provides tools that mimic how students interact with traditional print books while providing the ease of technology. With our platform, students can highlight (with multiple different color options),
"If it's a custom book, it only has value [in Lawrence]," said Dan Keating, owner of Beat the Bookstore, a local retailer that offers new, used and rented books. "If it's a national book, I can rent it one semester here and then rent it to someone in Florida,

so I can lower that book price."
However, RedShelf does not always offer the specific edition required by the course. For example, the Public Speaking & Civic Engagement textbook for COMS 130 is required to
a used copy for $73.87.
Another local retailer, the Jayhawk Bookstore next to
the Chi Omega fountain,
offers a new copy for $106.95.
For example, Public Speaking and Civic Engagement, which is offered at $110 at the University Bookstore, costs $99.50 for a new copy at Beat the Bookstore. Since the book is looseleaf, the University Bookstore won't buy it back from students, so it's only offered as a new book there. Beat the Bookstore offers
offers a new copy for $108.95.
To rent a new copy of the book, Beat the Bookstore charges $99.50. A semester rental of a used book only costs $44.12. The University bookstore's rental affiliates do not offer Public Speaking and Civic Engagement, as it is a custom edition.
Students have many options for textbooks, but they can change drastically depending upon the class, Whitley said. Custom books like Public Speaking can limit national distributors and suppliers, and supplemental materials that some classes require, like access codes and online texts, make the process more complicated for students.
