Overview
Students are required to purchase particular textbooks for their classes. The college bookstore is typically the primary outlet near campus to purchase the required books. While the Internet offers some alternatives, many students baulk at online purchases due to shipping charges, uncertainty of book condition, time constraints and other reasons.
Buying textbooks is not the only dilemma today’s college students face. Following the completion of a class, students look to recover some book expenses by selling the textbook. Again, while there are some online options, the typical student will usually go back to the campus bookstore. Traditional college bookstores set small buy-back quotas and brief buy-back periods for used books. This means many students will be offered a small amount for the book or nothing at all.
Beat The Bookstore has designed a franchise program to sell books for less and buy them back for more thus serving the customers better. Learn more about this exciting opportunity now available at select campuses across the country!

Products & Services
Beat The Bookstore’s concept is very simple. We pay college students more for their used textbooks than the college’s bookstore. Then, we turn around and sell them to students for less than the college bookstore. Beat The Bookstore is focused on textbooks and great service. You won’t find any sweatshirts, bumper stickers, or any trinkets in our stores. Instead, you’ll find uncommon customer service, attentive store employees, and rock-bottom prices for textbooks needed in your next class!
We are on a revolutionary mission. The Beat The Bookstore team is reworking an industry distribution infrastructure and having fun in the process. College bookstores go through a network of “middle men” to fill their book shelves. Beat The Bookstore retains the majority of books from student buy-backs to resell in its own stores. This saves a ton of time and money. We pass the savings on to our customers. Simple, right?
