Cabot House Master James H. Ware said he was generally excited about the possibilities the store offers for students in the House.

“We believe that the store will make a significant positive contribution to House life but we will watch it closely to identify and address unanticipated problems,” Ware wrote in an e-mail.

Starting in the fall, a student advisory board will work with HUDS to determine hours, inventory and address concerns with the store.

Ware said he will also be monitoring the store’s impact on the House community, but that the Quad Masters were excited by the opportunity to further the Quad community.

In order to help build House community, the store will include a special wall for flyers and House announcements.

Ware also said that HUDS has agreed to pay the Cabot House Committee a small sum to offset any revenue lost from a decline in vending machine sales due to the new store’s presence. Typically Houses designate the profits made off their vending machines in their Houses go to their House Committees.
