A convenience store set up inside a shuttle bus has opened at Wichita State's Hughes Metropolitan Complex, 29th Street and Oliver. A contest to name the store ends today (Friday, Sept. 23). Participants can email their ideas to buses@overlandcharters.com. The winner will get free drinks for the month of October.

The store -- open from 6:45 a.m.-9:15 p.m. when school is in session -- will offer a variety of items, including:

Eight types of coffee
Eighteen types of cappuccino
Daylight Donuts
Coca-Cola products
Four smoothie options
Hot dogs and sausage rolls
Energy drinks, tea and water
Chips
Candy, mints and gum

Owner Kelly Fankhauser is also working with a food vendor to get sandwiches added to the lineup.

The location, right next to the shuttle stop at the Metropolitan Complex, is ideal for students and others using the WSU Shuttle System to get to and from the main campus.

Fankhauser owns Overland Charters, which runs the shuttle system for Wichita State.
