About Care Packages

The Gopher Express is a fast and affordable convenience store located in Coffman Memorial Union on the ground level. We feature a wide variety of products, including many vegetarian and organic items.

It all started through a brainstorm of Gopher Express employees. Our Care Package service brings together our reputation for exceptional customer service and high quality products, packaged into cool gifts for University students and staff.

Gopher Express Mission

We are dedicated to service the University Community and fostering a positive environment on campus. Because we are run by Student Unions & Activities at the University of Minnesota, any profit helps support your Student Unions and Activities.

Testimonials

I was really surprised when I called to reorder — this time to deliver a Get Well Care Package — and they remembered exactly who I was. The personal attention they showed was impressive, and my daughter called an hour later to say it had arrived and was just perfect. --Anne, parent

How wonderful that a mom can 'comfort' their loved one from miles away. I love your service! It's frustrating when a son/daughter calls looking for comfort when they are suck or just not having a great day. This is a way to 'be there' for them. --Karen, parent
