Darden Exchange is the bookstore that exclusively services the Darden Community and its Alumni.
Darden Exchange opened in January of 2002, as the third satellite store to the University of Virginia Bookstore. Courts & Commerce at the UVA Law School and TJ’s Locker at the Aquatic Center are the other stores in the Bookstore system. Courts & Commerce, which used to service the Darden Community, is now exclusively servicing the Law School Community. The Bookstore system is self-funded and any profits are returned to the University. Darden Exchange gives a portion of its profits directly to the Darden School.
