The new Starbucks will replace the old Jazzman’s Café and
will be more than three times larger than its predecessor. It is nearly complete,
with the site awaiting final renovations related to the Starbucks brand concept
as well as furniture.
Metz is also completing renovations to the old "Orange Room" where a Chick-Fil-A will open this fall. It will replace the former Magic Johnson Sub Connection and
WOW Café and Wingery eateries.
Metz began a five-year contract with FAMU on January 2,
2014, replacing Sodexo. According to a past article in The FAMUan, Metz will
keep the Tropical Smoothie and Pizza Hut stores that Sodexo brought to campus.
At the time of the article, it was also discussing the possibility of opening a
T.G.I. Friday’s at FAMU.
