PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24ARMK&src=ctag” target=”_blank”gt;$ARMKlt;/agt;–After a competitive RFP process and careful consideration, Salem State
University selected Aramark as its new Dining Services partner effective
June 1, 2019.
“Salem State University sought a partner committed to carrying out our
vision for a re-imagined dining experience on our campus,” said Karen
House, vice president of finance and facilities at Salem State
University. “Our Dining Task Force, along with campus leaders in finance
and facilities and student life, were impressed with Aramark’s ability
to offer high quality foods, innovative concepts and an outstanding
value.”
Based on input from students, faculty and staff, Aramark will focus on
delivering a new vision for dining on campus that includes: greater food
option variety such as a Panera Bread in its retail food court,
authentic cultural offerings, expanded options for individuals with food
allergies and other dietary restrictions, and a “Create Kitchen,” that
enables students to receive cooking instruction and make meals
themselves.
The program features reimagined dining spaces, increased dining hours
across campus, and 24/7 anytime dining. It also includes innovative
commuter meal plans, allowing commuter students greater access to the
same dining opportunities of those living on campus.
”We are proud to partner with Salem State University to transform the
campus dining experience for students, faculty and staff,” said Jeff
Gilliam, President of Aramark’s Higher Education Division. “There will
be many enhancements made on campus for the fall semester and beyond.”
