Students wanting to avoid long lines at popular eating places like The Underground or the Burge and Kansas unions find it more convenient to dine at one of the campus Hawk Food Stop locations.
The number of Hawk Food Stops increased from three to seven in past years and another could be added on West Campus in the future.
Alecia Stultz, assistant director for retail dining, said the increase started with faculty and students scouting out locations.
“We hear a comment that they’d like to have one here or there, and then we try to flush out the pros and cons,” she said.
Stultz said the Hawk Food Stop locations in JRP Hall and the Art and Design Building were the most popular because many students enjoyed the convenience of eating close to their classes.
Sean Demaree, Olathe freshman and music education major, has all of his courses in Murphy Hall. Because of a tight schedule, he usually eats at the Hawk Food Stop in Murphy Hall, Demaree said. The shop reopened last fall after a one-year absence and serves about 200 customers a day.
“This place has the stuff I like and it’s easier to get to,” he said.
Kezia Schrag, Valley Center doctoral student in piano performance, gives piano lessons and also has all of her courses in Murphy Hall.
“The less I leave, the better,” Schrag said. “The more I can practice, that’s what’s great about it.”
She said she frequents the shop two times a day and her favorite items were cold sandwiches and coffee.
“It’s a well-known fact that in here, music people live off coffee,” she said.
