Despite the opening of the renovated food court in February and plenty of traffic ever since, local businesses have not felt a change in the amount of business.

Local managers of restaurants agreed that since the food court has opened, they have not seen a loss of business and overall business has remained stable.

“There was not anything noticeable,” Rob Tobias, a manager at McHugh’s Double Drive Thru, said Tuesday. “We haven’t had any decreases so I guess it didn’t affect us at all.”

Although there is a Subway in the new food court, Jessica Jarrett, a Subway worker at the Lincoln Avenue store, said she has seen no drop in the amount of customers since February.

“It seems pretty steady,” she said. “We get a lot of people who work around here, we don’t get that many students.”

In agreement, Bob Harrison, a manager at Blimpie’s and Cory Hay, a manager at Pizza Hut said they have not seen a decrease in business.

“We’re normally on a continual upward trend,” Hay said. “We haven’t seen a huge difference really.”

Similarly, Tara Smith, a manager at McDonald’s, said business has been stable.

“Everybody eats pretty much everywhere,” she said. “I don’t think it’s slowed down at all.”

In contrast, Darin Ripperden, a manager at Wendy’s, said last month’s business was slower than usual.

“Last month was kind of slow, but this month has been a lot busier,” he said.

However, Ripperden said he attributes the slow-down to the weather rather than the new food court.

“I don’t really think it was because of the food court,” he said. “Because we’re far enough away from campus we don’t get as many students.”
