Sep. 18 — Mixed Nuts, the student cooperative that has been operating on campus since 1972, will open for the fall semester on September 19.
Until the 22, the co-op will be operating with “soft opening” hours: Noon to 8PM on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday; and 10AM to 8PM on Sunday.
Mixed Nuts operates out of the Roos-Rohde House, and sells food, drinks, and student-made art, jewelry, and other such things sold on consignment.
All items can be paid for using Hamp Dollars (not Dining Dollars) or cash.
Mixed Nuts has had a rough time as of late, most recently affected by limitations on student working hours. But Mixed Nuts has a history of weathering the storm: for the fall 2023 semester, Mixed Nuts had an operating budget of only $100 due to administration failing to communicate that the proceeds of purchases made with Dining Dollars, which had been added as a payment option the previous year, would go directly to the school, not to Mixed Nuts.
But Mixed Nuts has persevered, and is even considering bringing back bulk orders, a practice with a long history in the cooperative. With any luck, Mixed Nuts will be with us for years to come.
