  • 1.  Student Union Food Concepts Photos

    Posted 07-11-2022 13:21
    Greetings colleagues!

    I am seeking photos/reviews that folks might be willing to share of their food concepts in their union space! We recently made the switch to Chartwells and we are fast approaching decisions on food concepts. I would be particularly interested in Pub/Bar concepts and concepts that serve breakfast items (ie: Panera). Any information would be appreciated!!

    Thanks!
    Dwayne!

    Hi Dwayne,

    We just did a dining renovation to the Indiana Memorial Union including a space for a pub. Here are some pictures of a couple of our dining spaces. And to recognize the renovation, we did a Re-Union grand re-opening event last fall and got some pictures from that. There are a couple from our pub (starts 7th from the last picture). Happy to get more pictures from my phone if that would be helpful too. 

    Hope this is helpful!

    Hey Dwayne,

    LSU staffer here (UF Alum. Go Gators!)

    We have Chik fil A In our main food area that serves breakfast. We also have Einstein Bagels downstairs that operates essentially breakfast/lunch hours only. Also we have a smoothie king which sort of fills in all of the gaps. We did have a McD's but it was recently closed and is being replaced by Sonic. Chartwells is also our dining vendor here.

    I can send you pics of anything that helps. Einteins is under reno I believe however. The only restaurant/pub concept we have that I know of is not part the union itself.

    Hello Paul,

    I would love some pictures of your Sonic and Chic-Fil-A! Thank you so much. This will be helpful as we decide on concepts and design of our new food spaces.

    Thanks!
