An Oxford tuck shop in 2015 A tuck shop is a retailer located either within or close-to the grounds of a school. In traditional British usage, tuck shops are associated chiefly with the sale of confectionery, sweets, or snacks, and are common at private ('fee-paying') schools.

For example, The Big Bounce, a National Lottery- funded charity, recently gave a £300 grant to some children who wanted to set up a healthy tuck shop To some, this means providing healthier types of the same goods (for example using brown bread instead of white, selling milk and fruit juice instead of fizzy drinks and rice cakes and crackers instead of crisps).For example, see this advice given by the charity the British Nutrition Foundation This model has become popular with the authorities in many schools in the UK. Some groups have advocated going even further and creating a "fruit tuck shop".For example, Islington Primary Care Trust is now actively encouraging fruit tuck shops. A press release about this can be found here Research and pilot schemes have been done in some areas, such as this study from Gloucestershire These have been less successful, primarily due to a perceived drop in revenue and the generally tight state of funding in the UK education system at present, although the funding situation may change in the future.

He passed the Eleven-Plus exam and started at Boteler Grammar School, Warrington. After the death of his father on 25 April 1979, the 13-year-old Evans took part-time work at an outlet of T. J. & B. McLoughlin's newsagent–tobacconist in Woolston, and ran an alternative tuck- shop at Padgate High School, which was a comprehensive school he attended for the final three years of his secondary education. Evans left secondary school aged 16 after moving into the sixth form, and then had a number of dead-end jobs in and around Warrington, including at a private detective agency and, notoriously, as a "Tarzan-ogram".

Theophane was involved in the construction of other College buildings such as "The Rainbow Cottages", "The Tuck Shop", "The Chapel", "Mansion", "Villa", "Infirmary" and "The Refectory". Living in small groups, in separate cottages had not only provided a homey atmosphere, but also promoted greater fellowship and understanding. Rosati reconditioned several military huts into living quarters for the boarders and appointed school matrons to be in charge of the physical cleanliness of the boys and the sanitary features of each hostel block. This change had been so effectual in the achievement of greater performance both in work and play and led to a reduction of illness among the boarders.

Boys buy sweets from the tuck shop at Ampleforth in 1943 The school is arranged into ten houses, with pupils living in separate house buildings, eating together as a house for lunch 6 days a week, and playing sport in inter-house competitions. Each house is named after a British saint. Boys houses are St Cuthbert's, St Dunstan's, St Edward- Wilfrid's (as of September 2018 became Junior House) which were originally two separate houses, St Hugh's, St John's, St Oswald's, and St Thomas's, and girls, St Aidan's, St Bede's and St Margaret's. Some houses are paired into buildings named after people who have been instrumental in the school's history.

Associated with these works were alterations to the dining hall to provide dormitory accommodation on the upper floors. A new gymnasium was built in 1921 on the site of the earlier structure. At the same time the filter beds for the swimming pool were converted into dressing rooms for masters and visiting teams and the top of the structures was modified to provide a spectators' gallery. In 1922 the Chapel extension was dedicated as a memorial to the Old Boys who died in World War I. In 1923 a block along the western side of the courtyard formed by the early 1900s additions was completed, containing three classrooms, a book room, fiction library, dental surgery and tuck shop.

All that is left of the college now is numbers 1 (the former "Elm Field Villa"), and 9 Straylands Grove, next to Monk Stray, and a row of masters' houses along Elmfield Terrace (as far as the first bend). Domestic staff housing may have been down in Willow Grove, off Elmfield Terrace, although these terraced cottages predate the masters' housing and are associated with a large house, Eden Place, that occupied the Elmfield Terrace frontage onto Monk Stray until at least World War I. No 1 Willow Grove was the Tuck Shop. No 5 Willow Grove is larger than the other houses on this row and included the music school. The present No. 9 Straylands Grove was built in the 1920s as the headmaster's house.

Treets are a brand of confectionery sold by Mars Limited in France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. The original product consisted of peanuts coated in milk chocolate with an outer shell of dark brown glazed candy, and appeared in the UK in the 1960s; these were later marketed as Peanut Treets, (sold in a yellow packet), together with Toffee Treets (sold in a blue packet)Berry, Steve & Norman, Phil – "The Great British Tuck Shop", Friday Books, 2012. p.90 and Chocolate Treets (sold in a brown packet). All three shared the same glazed coating, but the filling of the button-shaped Chocolate Treet consisted solely of the milk chocolate which surrounded the peanut or toffee pellet in the other versions.

Prices vary, but it is not uncommon for one can of non-alcoholic beverage to cost $6–10 USD. Due to the convenience of room service and the minibar, prices charged to the patron are much higher than the hotel's restaurant or tuck shop. As premium bottled water has become popular with guests since the 2000s, there is "ambient placement" of such chargeable products outside the minibar and in the guests' line of vision; for example "by placing [bottled] water on bedside tables, during the night, people are more likely to grab it than get up to get a glass of water". The world's first minibar was introduced at the Hong Kong Hilton Hotel by manager Robert Arnold in 1974.

In Australia, where the tuck shop will typically be the only source of bought food at the school/club, the menu is more substantial and is more similar to the school dinners provided by the British government. "Tucker" may originate with the lacework at the top of 19th Century women's dresses, but the origin of its use in regard to food probably arises from the popular shops run in England by various members of the Tuck family between 1780 and 1850. The earliest reference found is to Thomas Tuck whose "Tuck's Coffee House" in Norwich, United Kingdom was popular among the city's literary circles in the late 18th Century. There was a library for the use of customers, and it was located on Gentleman’s Walk in the heart of the city.

This creative tradition was still going strong with the school's Spring 2015 production of Footloose. The library inherited the junior school's stock, and the first Librarian (Mrs Frances M. Roberts), aided by her student assistants, set about raising funds for new multimedia by showing children films in the Assembly Hall on Saturday mornings, and running a tuck shop. For the Official Opening day, a natural history exhibition created by the students was displayed in the Library using exhibits loaned from the Durban Museum by Dr. Phillip Clancey. The library boasted one of the country's few Quadraphonic sound systems, and its first Quadraphonic recording was the Columbia production of Leonard Bernstein 's music commission for the September 8, 1971 opening of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Mass.
