FAMU’s meal plan purchases climbed by more than 500 in Fall 2008. The total reached just over 3,000.
This number shows that FAMU’s dining services are becoming even more popular among commuter students, faculty, and staff. Only 2,484 students live on-campus.
From Fall 2001 to Fall 2005, meal plan sales steadily dropped and bottomed out at fewer than 1,500. But since Fall 2006, they’ve risen every year, going from just under 2,000 that year to last fall’s total of over 3,000.
Beginning in Fall 2003, FAMU’s Office of Auxiliary Services added a number of new concepts to the cafeteria, including Pizza Hut and KFC. It also developed flexible meal options to attract new patrons outside of its core customer base: on-campus students.
Recent additions such as Magic Johnson’s Sub Connection, the Rattler’s Nest, Jazzman’s, and The Deli provided even more variety in FAMU’s restaurant line-up that appealed to hungry, health-conscious Rattlers.
The surge in dining service revenue comes as welcome news as FAMU faces yet another tough budget year.
