Dining services promoting new value-meal plan in dining locations
Meal-deal offers smaller prices for bigger stomachs

TCU Dining Services is offering a new promotion allowing customers the option of numerous entrees, side items and drink for a special price, said Legia Abato, TCU Dining Services marketing manager.

Abato said the promotion “Lunch Under $6” and “Dinner Under $8” begins this week and will be available in most of the TCU dining locations.

Locations include the Main Skillet, Pasta Station, Main Market and Sunset Grill in the Main as well as Deco Deli in Reed Hall, Sub Connection in Dan Rogers Hall and Pond Street Grill in the Worth Hills area.

She said each station with the available promotion will have a card that explains the value-meal system.

“The promotion in the Main during lunch will allow customers to chose one entrée, two sides and one 20-ounce drink for the price of $6,” she said.

Abato said each dining location will have a similar value-meal plan such as a six-inch sub sandwich, chips and a 20-ounce drink in Sub Connection.

She said a customer will receive a dessert in addition to the one entrée, two sides and one 20 ounce drink for dinner in the Main.

Cliff Keith, a freshman pre-major, is in support of the new promotion.

“The Main is already overpriced, so any time I can save a buck, I’m happy,” he said.

Jack Brechtel, a junior e-business and marketing major, said he is concerned that the value-meal system will not help students who do not eat complete meals at one sitting.

“For the average person, it is great,” he said. “But for me, since I rarely eat complete meals at one time, it would be bad,” he said.
