Designed as an urban grocery shop in collaboration with Tarleton and dining services partner Sodexo, Oscar P’s General Store is named for founder John Tarleton’s pet duck who, according to legend, went everywhere with him. Oscar P is said to be buried with the founder and has his own place on the John Tarleton sculpture on campus.

“Oscar P’s General Store has been a fantastic addition to Tarleton State University and Stephenville,” said Executive Director Mike Benge, Campus Operations, Auxiliary Services. “The store offers nearly everything that an individual would need. In addition to the standard snacks and beverages, there are fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy products, cleaning items, toiletries, and promotional items.”

Oscar P’s has convenient hours, including being open evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays. The location is also home to Tarleton's KiwiBot delivery robots.
