Oakland University students living in the residence halls won’t have to travel far to grab Grizzly gear. A new Grizz Outlet store is now open in Vanderberg Hall and is filled with Golden Grizzly merchandise.

“We opened the store because we wanted to provide our students with the opportunity to show their school spirit and offer great quality merchandise at very affordable prices,” said Phil Hess, sports information director. “We think all students will be happy with the prices and selections offered, plus the residence hall students have the convenience of shopping where they live.

“We have been open just a very short time but the response has been terrific.”

T-shirt prices start at $5, and most of the prices are in the $5-$9 range. Merchandise includes sweatshirts, hoodies, ladies T-shirts, crew sweatshirts, and more.
