TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- The Corner Store, a popular convenience store on the University of Alabama campus, is no more today following a scheduled demolition.

Cathy Andreen, a university spokeswoman, said the building on Bryant Drive (in close proximity to Tutwiler Hall and Bryant-Denny Stadium) was recently vacant and had severe maintenance issues.

"[The building] was not built in a manner that allowed re-adaptation of space to meet current UA needs," Andreen said. "The space will be landscaped until UA can determine the best use of the space, based on our Campus Master Plan."

The store, established in 1946, was a student staple for decades, operating for 24 hours a day and within walking distance from most major dorms. It also drew large crowds on football game days, as fans picked up snacks or beer within sight of Bryant-Denny Stadium.
