Plans to place a music store in the EMU have been put on hold until fall classes start, but EMU Business Manager Susan Racette said the project has not been scrapped.
The deadline for businesses to apply for the store passed without any bidders, Racette said, even though she had sent information packets to most of the music stores in Eugene and Portland looking for a business interested in opening a “branch store” in The Break.
The Break is the only EMU service that is losing money. To solve that, EMU administrators planned to remodel the back room of The Break, move the arcade games to that room and turn the arcade into a music store.
Racette said some businesses told her the changing music technology kept them from taking the financial risk of opening a new store.
The EMU Board will put the music store at the top of its agenda in the fall.
