It’s Official: No More Sales of Cigarettes In The EMU
EMU Director Dusty Miller will follow through with the recommendation made by the EMU Board to ban the sale of cigarettes in Erb Essentials, the EMU convenience store. The ban is planned to go in effect in fall term.
EMU Food Services Director John Costello said the ban would cause Erb Essentials a loss of $100,000 in sales and about $25,000 in revenue.
According to the Daily Emerald article, some members of the board were concerned about the loss of income for the store, but EMU Board Chairwoman Christa Shively said it shouldn’t be a concern.
“I trust (John Costello’s) entrepreneurial skill,” she said.
One of the proposed replacements for tobacco in the store: sushi.
