The Starbucks in the University Dinning Plaza is scheduled for completion sometime in late spring 2008, according to Don Penrod, general manager of the University's Forty Niner Shops Inc.
It was originally planned to have been opened by the beginning of this fall semester, but bidding delays and other unexpected setbacks have delayed the original timeline.
"The Starbucks will help the Shops fulfill three objectives. The first objective is to offer a food service to students that is popular and successful. The second objective is to improve the interior appearance of the Dinning Plaza, and the third objective is to leverage the Starbucks brand to instill a high level of customer service skills in our workforce," says Penrod.
Penrod believes this fits well with the Shops' strategy of employing students to enable them to earn money to pay for college while learning good job skills. He says they have found Starbucks brand to be unique and does not diminsh sales at other food service locations.
This plans to be the final addition of Starbucks on campus.
