University of Michigan athletic department finds new retailer
(CBS DETROIT) — The University of Michigan athletic department has a new retailer.
In a release Saturday, the athletic department said they've entered into a 10-year partnership with Legends Global Merchandise.
The university says "Legends will have exclusive rights to manage, operate, sell and distribute all Michigan-licensed merchandise."
The "official team store" will continue under the M Den name. The university says they're also working to find a new off-campus location.
