Renovations in store for Chick-fil-A
The on-campus Chick-fil-A will be receiving an updated sleeker look by as early as next winter break.
The renovations will be occurring because Chick-fil-A tries to update every three to four years. The new look aims to make the campus Chick-fil-A look more like newer Chick-fil-A restaurants that are currently being built. The counters will be re-tiled and other similar updates will be added to the store according to Executive Director of Auxiliary Services Kyle Cullars. There will also be an oven dedicated for making Chick-fil-A biscuits.
“Our target start date is to try and get it done sometime around next Christmas break,” Cullars said. “We could have done it over the summer, but we will also be doing a big renovation to the dining hall at the time, and we don’t want to have both places shut down while there are still students on campus.”
The issue of money for the project has been addressed by Auxiliary Services.
“We make enough money at the different restaurants on campus like Chick-fil-A, (Einstein Bros. Bagels), etc. that we can completely fund the renovations ourselves,” Cullars said. “None of the money will come from the state, student tuition or things like that.”
Some students would like to see different things done to Chick-fil-A as well to have a better dining experience overall.
“Well I’d really like to see them get the spicy chicken sandwich, but as far as renovations are concerned maybe just get a register specifically for Chick-fil-A and nothing else,” said junior history major Adam Greene.
Others spoke out about the need for more space.
“I know there is only so much space in there but maybe having more seating during the lunch rush,” said junior mass communication major Jamie Cowan. “I know it’s really hard to find somewhere to sit when it is prime lunch hours.”
While the campus will not see the the renovations until next winter, the plan is to make the design and look of everything more appealing and create a better dining atmosphere for students.
