Vegetarians like 18-year-old Annika Goldman can rejoice: Subway will be included in the Spring 2014 meal plan.
During October, residential, commuter and faculty and staff meal plans were accepted at Panda Express, Arredondo Cafe, Subway and Chick-fil-A during a one-week trial period, wrote Gator Dining Services marketing program manager Jill Rodriguez in an email. Customers were able to vote electronically for their favorite location from Oct. 30 to Nov. 3.
Out of a total of 1,716 ballots cast, Subway collected 46.5 percent of the vote — a plurality.
Rodriguez said all meal plan participants will be able to use their meal plans once a day after 4 p.m. at all three Subway locations on campus. Subway’s operational hours for Spring 2014 will be posted Dec. 1.
Goldman, a UF behavioral and cognitive neuroscience freshman, said she was happy when she received an email stating that Subway was added to the meal plan.
“Subway has a lot of variation and vegetarian options,” she said.
Subway joins a total of 11 locations that will accept meal plans in January, including Moe’s Southwest Grill, Pollo Tropical, Burger King, Papa John’s, Croutons, Home Zone, Chomp It, Camellia Court Cafe at the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, Gator Corner Dining Center and the Fresh Food Company.
