Have you ever felt like your feedback to Elon University’s Dining Services is just filed away in a folder, never to be seen again? Like the comments you see scrolling past a TV on the wall in Colonnades are just there to make things look good for tours of prospective students? Think again.

After questions swirled about Chick-fil-A’s presence on campus during the 2012-2013 academic year, the university changed its plans to place a full-service Chick-fil-A in the new dining facilities and instead made two additions to the campus’s food options. Enter Biscuitville and Qdoba Mexican Grill.

“Both of these new brands ranked very high on the spring dining survey conducted in late Spring 2013,” said Kate Nelson, district marketing manager for ARAMARK, Elon’s food service provider.

Chick-fil-A, previously located in Octagon Cafe, will find a new home on the ground floor of McEwen Dining Hall. The move was announced in the spring, but the restaurant will not be open until “around fall break,” Nelson said. Hours for Chick-fil-A will be determined once the facility is in operation.

Last year, Daniel Commons in Danieley Center was a convenience store. Now, the facility will house Qdoba Mexican Grill.

“The Qdoba concept was selected because a Mexican concept was indicated high on the list of potential concepts on the spring dining services survey,” said Vickie Somers, director of auxiliary services. “Daniel Commons was selected for Qdoba because it is a good fit for this neighborhood because that neighborhood did not have a national brand.”

Perhaps the most noticeable and central change to the dining facilities is the addition of Biscuitville to Winter Garden Cafe — or, as many on campus call it, Freshii. Biscuitville is being added to the right of Freshii, while Topio’s, originally next to Chick-fil-A in Octagon Cafe, will move to the left of it.

That’s not the only change that will come with Biscuitville, though. Normally, the chain closes early in the afternoon. That’s not the case on Elon’s campus.

“This Biscuitville will be unique in that it will stay open until 9 p.m. Monday through Sunday,” Nelson said.

Somers said bringing Biscuitville to campus has been in the works for some time now.

“Biscuitville management was interested in having a location on campus and we thought it would be a good concept for the campus,” she said. “The spring survey also indicated an interest in a late-night breakfast concept. Since Octagon Cafe was due to close, popular options from Grille Works were shared with Biscuitville as items to consider adding to their menu, several versions of which they did incorporate.”

Each of the new options will have Meal Exchange combo options for students to use their meal plan.

As for changes to existing locations on campus, Lakeside Dining Hall will now be open for breakfast and have extended dinner hours.

Now, Lakeside will open at 7 a.m. Monday through Friday. Four days a week — Monday through Thursday — dinner will be served until 10 p.m. Brunch will also be served on weekends to accommodate crowds during brunch hours at Colonnades Dining Hall.
