New Robeks to Open in SRWC

      Students who like a nice smoothie or snack after working out are in luck-- According to the Daily 49er A new Robeks will be opening in the lobby of the Student Recreation and Wellness Center.

     
     The lobby of the SRWC has been left empty of concessions after low sales shut down the Fresh Foods Café Express only three months after the facilities opening in fall 2010.

Those who frequent the rec center are having mixed reactions, but student surveys show that students wanted a sort of juice and smoothie bar there.

     “I’m excited,” sophomore Julie Choi said. “I usually go to the Robeks at the USU after going to the rec center anyways. Now I won’t have to walk all that way.”

Others aren’t so impressed.

    “I like it the way it is, without any sort of shop in the lobby,” said sophomore Ussnee Ittimekyin. “I study in there sometimes, and I’m sure a Robeks would make it a lot busier.”

     According to Christina Esparza, ASI communications coordinator, the success of Robeks in the USU has made it a good choice for the SRWC.

    The Robeks in the USU will not be moving, a new one will be opening. It is set to open in the summer.
