Sodexo, a food services and facilities management company, will
enter into a 20-year food service partnership with the University
of Northern Colorado (UNC) in Greeley, CO, beginning July 1, 2022.
As part of the partnership, Sodexo and UNC will work together to
elevate and expand the university’s existing dining services,
including refreshing retail dining options in the University Center
and remodeling the Tobey-Kendel dining hall to include Starbucks,
Crisol, Bowlful, and Empire Pizza. Additionally, in year two or
three of the partnership, Sodexo will deploy delivery robots,
delivering hot meals and cold drinks directly to dorm rooms or
other areas of UNC’s campus as requested.
“We’re excited to collaborate to build a dining program that
truly aligns with the UNC spirit,” said Brett Ladd, CEO of Sodexo
Campus. “We know Sodexo’s contributions will enrich the lives of
all members of the UNC campus community.”
In addition to the retail refresh and dining hall remodel, the
partnership also includes increasing concessions options for UNC
athletic events by providing local food trucks, new menu items, and
a new bar concept to enhance the fan experience.
“As someone with a background in hospitality management, I am
constantly thinking about how to enhance the overall experience at
UNC for our students,” said UNC President Andy Feinstein. “Our
partnership with Sodexo allows us to do just that. I look forward
to UNC and the university community benefiting from this
partnership for many years to come.”About Sodexo North
