Flyer Enterprises previously operated a large convenience store called Rudy's Fly-Buy. It was closed after 17 years of operation in 2007 because of declining sales. The idea for a student-run store was originally brought to UD fromGeorgetown University by Dr. William Schuerman, former dean of students and vice president of student development at UD. At Georgetown, the student-run corporation is known asStudents of Georgetown, Inc. Originally operated by a small group of students, Rudy's Fly-Buy was taken over by Flyer Enterprises when the organization formed in 2001.
