Expansion Update
The expansion is well underway as this bird’s eye view shows as of Monday, October 20th. By this time this newsletter arrives, we should have a roof over our heads and be almost done with our new sidewalks, curbs, and alley paving. The existing parking lot on the east side of the building is now configured for entrance via the ally and University Way. You can check it all out at Expansion.Jerrols.com. The goal is to be in the new building on January 1st and to have Winegars Home Made Ice Cream & Coffee open by February 1st. Read more about our changes on page 3
My father and grandfather made a major shift in business strategy in 1965. They decided, after 18 years of operating as a soda fountain / drive through restaurant, to change Jerrol’s business model and become a “University Bookstore” . There were many reasons that factored into their decision—a major one being the planned opening of the I-90 between Vantage and Cle Elum. When opened in 1967, I-90 routed traffic around Ellensburg, instead of right past our front door on old US Highway 10.
Jerrol’s Your Source for Productivity, Creativity & Learning
After almost 50 years of being primarily though of as a “University Bookstore” by most of our clients, the time has come to make another major change for our future. No longer is Jerrol’s primarily a place for students looking to purchase textbooks. In fact, most students purchase books online or do not purchase books at all due to the extremely high price—some over $300!!!
As we look at you, our loyal client, and the reasons you choose and think of Jerrol’s, we have concluded that you think of Jerrol’s as your source for Productivity, Creativity and Learning. It boils down to being a place for people who THINK. This concept embraces our Office Products, which you use to increase your productively, Arts, Crafts, Gifts, unique & local food items that you use to stimulate your creativity, and books which you use for learn, productivity and creativity. I would be very interested in your thoughts regarding this new direction for Jerrol’s. -Rolf P.S.

When tragedy strikes the Jacobs family, this charismatic preacher curses God, mocks all religious belief, and is banished from the shocked town. Jamie has demons of his own. Wed to his guitar from the age of thirteen, he plays in bands across the country, living the nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll while fleeing from his family's horrific loss. In his mid-thirties--addicted to heroin, stranded, desperate--Jamie meets Charles Jacobs again, with profound consequences for both men. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil's devising, and Jamie discovers that "revival" has many meanings. This rich and disturbing novel spans five decades on its way to the most terrifying conclusion Stephen King has ever written. It's a masterpiece from King, in the great American tradition of Frank Norris, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allan Poe.

- Teresa Miller - Rewards Member I love shopping for all my school supplies at Jerrol's! I always find what I'm looking for and end up buying more than what I walked in for because the store has such a great variety.
- Shelby Jumper - Rewards Member Came in to meet the author's of Shredderman and Road Rash. Incredible, inspiring experience for me and my kids. Your staff was excellent as well, and we were so impressed when we overheard that Jerrols was donating some of the authors' books to the Morgan Middle School library. It's obvious how much you care about the community.
