Wiggins to provide additional dining options for students
Geena Martinez/Contributing Writer/Daily Toreador
Texas Tech students soon will have a new place to grab a bite to eat on campus.
Construction is underway for a new mini-market at the Wiggins Complex next to the Chitwood and Weymouth Residence Halls, and students can look forward to choosing between Chick-fil-A and Quiznos among other options such as a Mexican-themed line, an Italian-themed line and a grill in the facility scheduled to open in the fall semester.
Kirk Rodriguez, the director of Hospitality Services, said one reason for the new market was the need for extra space that the Sam's Place in the Chitwood/Weymouth Residence Halls did not provide.
"We've since outgrown the space," Rodriguez said. "It doesn't really allow us a lot of what we were trying to do."
Many of you may not know but I once was a proud employee of the Wiggins Dining Hall. I would work about 3 hours a week for beer money and I would either scan Tech IDs or I would serve food with my snazzy latex gloves. My boss was an old lebian woman who went about 4 foot 9 and weighed about 66 pounds. The head honcho was good friend Bobby Schmitt. Most days he would just get mad about girls wearing Ugg boots when it was 20 degrees outside. Ah, the good ole days.
