Introduction:
School
pride is rooted to something specific, donning colors, logos and jersey
numbers. The availability of such apparel is not hard to find, especially for
such a large and popular university as ASU. Four of the most well-known places
to stop by and shop for that sporting event or Maroon and Gold spirit are the
on-campus Sun Devil Store, the College Store, Campus Corner, and the Student
Book Center. Since demand for collegiate products are unlikely to ever
decrease, these stores are visited often. This being said, they should each be
doing their best satisfy elements such as variety, affordability, and quality. “We already know
that absolute monopoly and perfect competition type of markets are not that
pervasive, yet businesses try to avoid perfect competition and strive to go for
absolute monopoly so they can enjoy no competition and exploit the customer
sentiments for buying.” (http://www.blurtit.com/q466164.html)

#1: Sun Devil Campus Store
Located in the center of campus, the Sun Devil
Campus Store offers a vast amount of Arizona State’s official collegiate
products and merchandise. Because it’s considered the primary source of ASU’s books
and apparel, it is slightly more costly than the other three shops located
outside of the campus. Despite that detail, the store offers a very welcoming
atmosphere and a terrific first taste to the college environment.
