Not only will the "Aggie Owned and Operated" designation encourage other Aggies to support your business, but you'll leave no doubt in the minds of all potential customers that you embody the integrity and reliability that distinguish Texas A&M across the state and around the world.
The program allows you to create an automatic association between your business and the values and reputation of Texas A&M in the minds of your customers. At the same time, you visibly showcase your connection with Texas A&M University and empower other Aggies to frequent your business.

listing will rotate through the Spotlight randomly; Premium listings will appear three times more often than Basic level listings.
- Do I have to be an Aggie to purchase a MaroonBook listing?
- While MaroonBook targets Aggies, we realize that others (non-Aggies) will want to reach the Aggie community
as well. If someone who didn't attend Texas A&M recognizes the value of doing business with Aggies, they are welcome to
participate. Aggie listings will be designated by maroon text and a class year.
