Sodexo is working on a plan to improve and increase food options at Sidelines Pub in Driscoll Student Center.

Sodexo plans to present the plans to the university by the end of April.

The plans are in the preliminary stage, said Joe Zemla, general manager of dining services at the Ritchie Center.

Sodexo is discussing ideas for the changes, but do not have set plans yet, he said.

The additional stations would be added behind the bar.  

They may include a salad-to-order station, a sandwich bar, grilled chicken and hot items like macaroni-and-cheese and baked dishes, said Nori Yamashita, general manager of dining services.

“Right now some people like the Pub, but we don’t have enough traffic,” said Yamashita.

“We are trying to appeal more to the customers,” he said. 

If implemented, the changes may or may not be ready by the fall, said Yamashita. 

“There’s nothing set yet, everything is up in the air,” said a Sidelines Pub employee.

It’s an exciting prospect, but there’s nothing set in stone, he said.
