New convenience store offers free coffee

Published on January 29, 2008 by The Sentinel

     On Jan. 15, Gateway Newsstand opened at
University Village.  For the next week, the Newsstand is offering
free coffee.  What’s the catch?  Just show up. Gateway
Newsstand is part of a family business out of New York.  Vikas
Patel opened the store after moving here from Long Island. 
Patel’s wife, Gopi, said that so far business has been a little slow,
but it’s slowly picking up.  She said that one challenge the store
faces is students leaving campus on the weekends.  The store,
facing Campus Loop Road, offers a cornucopia of items including
toiletries, specialty coffee, cigarettes, candy, and greeting
cards.  It’s open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. everyday except Thursday,
when the store stays open until midnight.
