New Bookstore to Open on Main St. this Spring, Broad St. Books Employees Blindsided – The Wesleyan Argus

In preparation for the most financially significant unification of the University and the City of Middletown, President Michael Roth ’78, along with over a dozen Middletown dignitaries, announced the opening of a new campus bookstore, which will be run by R.J. Julia of Madison, Conn., on Main St. in a ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday, Nov. 30. The next day, rank and file employees of the current campus bookstore, Broad Street Books, were in disarray after being blindsided by the announcement.
