A 24/7 store for res halls, unions, and athletic complexes.
Why the demand is real
Students need food when the dining hall is closed.
22.6%
of undergraduates report low or very low food security, roughly 3.9 million students (Hope Center, federal NPSAS data).
80%+
of food-insecure students receive no emergency aid, so affordable, always-open essentials matter.
24/7
demand: late nights and weekends fall outside dining-hall hours and staffing.
Students need food when the dining hall is closed and the budget is tight, and a store that lives inside the residence hall meets them exactly there.
