\u201cThe Oscar P General Store is a great addition to our growing list of amenities,\u201d said university President James Hurley. \u201cIt puts \u2018convenience\u2019 in the convenience store for Tarleton Texans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The store also stocks Chick-fil-A, Dunkin, and Tarleton and Oscar P novelty items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe university and Sodexo both consider Oscar P\u2019s a significant enhancement to the campus,\u201d said Michael Benge, Tarleton Director of Auxiliary Services. \u201cThere are sections of specialty items, promotional items and greater selections of grocery-type items.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hours are 8 a.m.-9 p.m. weekdays and noon-6 Saturdays and Sundays. Students may use their Texan bucks and Texan dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The store is named for founder John Tarleton\u2019s pet duck who, legend has it, went everywhere with him. Oscar P is said to be buried with Tarleton. He even has his own place on the larger-than-life Tarleton sculpture on campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
