An A+ Start to the School Year

News

One of the best times of the year is upon us… back-to-school shopping! Prudential Center is the one-stop-shop for parents, students, and teachers this fall. From new threads to fresh school supplies, the 40+ retailers are ready to set you up for success. Below are just a few of the stores we’re hitting up as we cross items off our shopping list!

PAPER SOURCE

Nothing is better than fresh pens and a planner to help keep us organized! You can’t go wrong with Paper Source’s variety of planners, office accessories & desk supplies. In addition to daily (calendar year) planners, the store also offers planners that follow the academic year. For visual learners, the store’s selection of calendars and monthly planners are a great way to layout all our to-dos in one place to keep us on schedule for the month. We’re also loving Paper Source’s stylish journals and notepads that jazz up the traditional notebook. Learning should be fun, right?

As big caffeine fans, we can’t forget to add Paper Source’s sweet and funny mugs and tumblers to our haul. Which leads us a few doors down to…

NESPRESSO

Now that we have a new coffee vessel, really good coffee is a must! Nespresso began more than 30 years ago with the mission to create the perfect cup of espresso coffee. What coffee is meant to be, Nespresso’s unique combination of premium portioned Grand Cru coffees comes in a variety of specialty packs and flavors, including: the Barista Creations’ indulgent Sweet Vanilla and Golden Caramel, Reviving Origins line (created to protect rare coffees by supporting the communities that grow them) that highlights coffees from Congo and Puerto Rico, and the Master Crafted Single Origins offerings from countries like Colombia and Mexico.

As we New Englanders love our iced coffee year round, we also have our eyes on the Cold Brew Style Starter Pack! Fun fact, all Nespresso coffees can be enjoyed brewed over ice!

HOKA

HOKA has popped up in the Center (across from Nespresso) right in time for the school year! The popular brand is known for its bold approach to performance footwear and apparel for everyone – from pro runners and first milers, to ultra-marathoners and mountain roamers, to neighborhood walkers and wild trail runners. HOKA believes the reward is more than a finish line – it’s about testing yourself, trusting yourself, and the beautifully human pursuit of what’s possible. All ideas to get us inspired for the new school year too! HOKA has made the shopping trip even easier with its guide to Back to School Shoes & Apparel that will empower everyone to feel like they can fly.

BUCK MASON

Another new and exciting addition to Prudential Center just in time for back-to-school shopping, Buck Mason creates wardrobe essentials for both men and women that make it easy to be the best dressed in the room. Laidback and effortlessly cool, Buck Mason has got you covered for the perfect pair of jeans, with their best fitting signature tees, and jackets that’ll go with everything. The updated, modern American classics are committed to providing simple, yet the best quality, straightforward staples that will get you through the entire school year.

Inspired by the Back Bay’s blend of heritage and innovation, Buck Mason’s Prudential Center shop is an inviting space that encourages you to sit back and take a break from shopping to peruse the modern American classics, novels, and art books that also fill the shelves.

ALLBIRDS

Looking to be more sustainable this school year? Allbirds make the world’s most comfortable shoes and apparel that are better for you and for the planet! The brand has replaced petroleum-based synthetics with natural alternatives – like wool, tree fiber, and sugar cane – wherever they can to create the lightweight, bouncy, comfortable and iconic shoes. This allows for soft, breathable, and better-for-the-planet shoes that make walking throughout the day as effortless as possible. From materials to transport, Allbirds is also working to reduce their carbon footprint to near zero.
