Freshens, A Smooth Operation

Freshens has officially joined the food court lineup in Talley Student Center.  Along the Cates Avenue side in the seating area,  you can find fresh smoothies and frozen yogurt served in a variety of flavors and topped with favorites like granola, berries, and candy.

The three-day Freshens Grand Opening Celebration in Talley Student Center began Tuesday morning with a Facebook VIP Event.  More than 1,300 customers RSVP’d to the event, but only the first 100  in attendance were eligible.  One-hundred free smoothies were distributed before 12:00 p.m., with most customers ordering their smoothie of choice on the spot.

Freshens Grand Opening Festivities continue Wednesday and Thursday with free samples and coupons.  The Freshens Banana Mascot will also be in attendance, welcoming patrons to the new location.   Students, faculty and staff can come by  and receive a coupon for a free topping with a yogurt purchase.

Relocation from the Atrium Food Court

Freshens has permanently relocated to Talley from the Atrium Food Court.  The new Atrium will emphasize Fresh Food Fast, and with Freshens option of customizing smoothies and yogurt, the line can get lengthy.  The new location in Talley can better accommodate this healthy and delicious option.  Hours of operation will be 10:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Friday, and closed Saturday and Sunday.

Freshens On the Move

Freshens LogoFreshens’ Franchise, a student favorite, is relocating to Talley Student Center, located on Cates Avenue across from Carmichael Gymnasium.  Students can enjoy a healthy smoothie or scoop of frozen yogurt in its new location beginning fall semester.

With the option of customizable smoothies and yogurt choices like low-calorie, high protein, and Fro-Yo Blasts the line for Freshens can become quite lengthy. In order to improve flow in and out of the food court, options in the new Atrium will consist of fresh, fast choices.

New Freshens Location

Freshens future home in the Talley Food Court

Freshens was previously located in the Atrium Food Court, which is undergoing renovation during the 2010-2011 academic year.  A portion of the Talley Food Court seating area will be removed on the Cates Avenue side to make room for the popular franchise.  Its new location formerly housed another dining option called “The Cutting Board” in the 1980s.

Incoming students can view the Freshens menu online along with nutritional information to gear up for its opening in the fall, after Labor Day Weekend.
