Our business began in the summer of 1997 with the hope and ambition of an Aggie family. It began when I, Michael, walked into the Sam Houston Sanders Corps of Cadets Center to pickup my wedding cake topper. I was in the Corps of Cadets and it has a Bride and a Senior Cadet instead of a Bride and Groom. I learned the gift shop had been decommissioned and great gift items might never be seen again (i.e. the Corps Miniatures). We located the creator/owner and the business was purchased and AGGIELAND DEPOT was formed. Later part of Gallagher's Gallery and Pride & Tradition were purchased and custom framing, diplomas, and prints were added. Then the partners set out to find unique Aggie collegiate licensed products. We carry Aggie Band, Corps of Cadet items, Aggie prints by Tim Vanya as well as others, unique Aggie gifts and historical and wildlife prints, Senior Boot Display Cases, and more.
In a effort to expand our customer base Margaret Hudson created www.University-Depot.com in 2002. We have Cross Stitch, prints, Diploma Framing and other gifts for different Universities.
In 2004 a decision was made to move the store to a new location that would better service our customers and allow us to grow. We are now located in Post Oak Village on Harvey South West of the Mall.
