Imagine a convenience store or a
sandwich shop next door to the resi
dence halls.
Both of these are possibilities for
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
to try to increase student interest in
residence hall snack bars.
Ron Burke, UNL director of food
service and food stores, said Pepsi
gave the snack bars more than
$100,000 as part of the beverage con
tract, most of which will go for
remodeling and new equipment.
“Pepsi is going to help us mer
chandise the snack bars,” Burke said.
Ellen Hardy, buyer for the univer
sity food stores, said the low student
interest was due to a combination of
many factors.
“I am not positive there is any one
reason for the decline in student inter
est,” Hardy said. “It may be due to the
fact that students have easier means
of transportation, and can go any
where off campus they want to eat.”
University Housing is concentrat
ing on the snack bars in Abel
Residence Hall and Harper
Residence Hall because they are used
most frequently. Burke said they were
considering many options.
“We have discussed a conve
nience store at Harper, and we have
also talked about some type of sub
shop, like a Blimpie’s, for instance, in
the halls,” Burke said.
Steve Ford, a representative from
Pepsi, said whatever kind of estab
lishment goes in will sell Pepsi prod
ucts.
“We would establish some kind of
deal with the vendor through their
contract,” Ford said. “Pepsi would
provide the company with the same
support as far as marketing, and other
support as their previous beverage
supplier had.”
Ford said Pepsi would be involved
with coming up with ideas for the
future renovations.
“We will be involved with decid
ing what types of equipment will be
installed, and we may involve stu
dents in the decisions, based on what
they want in a snack bar.”
Ford said Pepsi is considering
selling six-packs or two-liter bottles
of soda in the snack bars if there is

student interest.
Housing director Doug Zatechka
said he thought these changes would
make a difference in the student inter
est.
Burke will be meeting with Pepsi
representatives Friday to discuss
plans for improvements.
“These changes are definitely
worth a try,” Zatechka said. “I really
hope they work.”
Burke said initially food services
thought the sales at snack bars were
down because only Pepsi beverages
were sold, but the latest figures show
sales are about even with previous
years.
“We took into consideration the
fact that the snack bars opened two
days late in the first week of the
semester, and that Selleck has shorter
business hours,” Burke said. “There
is no appreciable difference in the
figures.”
