UCSF consistently defines health care worldwide by conducting advanced biomedical research, educating graduate students in life sciences, and providing complex patient care. For almost half a century the University Stores have been supporting health science excellence by providing retail services and programs that enrich campus life at UCSF.

The University Stores group consists of the UCSF University Store, the UCSF University Express convenience store, and the UCSF Technology Store (all located in Millberry Union), and the UCSF University Store at Mission Bay in Genentech Hall.

These institutionally-owned retail operations have been specifically created to serve UCSF students, faculty, and staff. They form part of the Retail division within Campus Life Services, a department of Financial and Administrative Services.
