STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State officials are announcing the launch of a weekend special to begin Aug. 23, and encouraging area residents to come to campus for Sunday dining.
The Fresh Food Co. brunch will be offered 10:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. each Sunday for $8 per person, plus tax.
“Our goal is to bring members of local communities back on campus for Sunday lunch,” said Ann Bailey, director of housing and residence life.
Patrons can select food choices from various stations – traditions, Mediterranean, sauté, chophouse, Mongolian barbecue, deli, bakery, and salad bar.
With an emphasis on cooked-to-order meals, the recently opened residential dining facility is located at 710 Bully Blvd.
“Since parking around Marketplace at Perry is limited, we chose The Fresh Food Co. for the brunch because of ample, close-by spaces for community members to park their vehicles and have easy access,” Bailey added.
The 29,000-square-foot Fresh Food building replaced the university’s longtime intramural tennis courts, which now are located at the RecPlex on Stone Boulevard.
Operated by the national Aramark Corp., MSU Dining Services has a number of other serving locations around campus. For complete information, visit www.msstatedining.campusdish.com.
