SRU contracts new food vendor for next 7 years

Slippery Rock University contracted with Aramark as its food service vendor for at least the next seven years, according to a news release from the university. Aramark replaces the university’s previous food vendor, AVI Fresh.

Under the new contract, SRU will offer students a choice of meal plans that are either less expensive or have no fee increases compared to previous years, as well as access to offerings with some new features.

SRU is offering six meal plan options through Aramark, according to the news release.

While the locations of dining facilities will remain the same as pre-pandemic academic years, the concept restaurants and their names will be different. Aramark has retained the Quaker Steak & Lube and Starbucks franchises in the Smith Student Center, but there will be new concepts in places like Weisenfluh Dining Hall. Boozel Express will return and offer 24/7 access.
