AS ONE DOOR CLOSES, SEVERAL OTHERS OPEN AT UH DINING SERVICES

These are exciting times at UH Dining Services. New ventures are underway, and we�re tailoring the dining choices on campus to better fit the students, faculty and staff of the University of Houston.

While many of the changes involve bringing new services to campus, two locations - Chili�s Too in the University Center and the C3 store in Moody Towers - will be closing their doors.

Chili�s Too, which has seen waning demand in recent years, will serve its last meal on Friday, May 13, 2011. The C3 store will close during the summer and give way to a new Cougar Xpress Market in Cougar Village. The Cougar Xpress Market will be modeled in the same style as the market in Calhoun Lofts. It will sell traditional convenience items along with detergent, toiletries and fresh groceries to help residential students who do not have the time or ability to venture off campus for these items.

�We at UH Dining Services are very excited to bring our second Cougar Xpress Market to the campus,� said Tony Urso, resident district manager. �Our new state-of-the-art convenience store will offer students everything from grocery items to our new ICEE station.�

Further in the future, UH Dining Services will open a Taco Cabana and a Provisions On Demand (POD) Express Market in the soon-to-be-built parking garage near Robertson Stadium. Opening of the garage and these locations is scheduled for August 2012.
