Students looking to freshen up their diet might now have an answer in the recent renovations to the bottom of Lenoir Dining Hall.
Freshens, a food chain that serves a variety of crepes, smoothies and frozen yogurt, is open for business.
Scott Myers, director of food and vending at UNC, said Freshens will be a nice replacement for Jamba Juice because of its wide variety of offerings beyond smoothies.
Some students said they too welcomed the change.
“I saw that it was new, and I’m not familiar with the Freshens brand at all, but I’m very pleasantly surprised,” senior Madeline Merrill said.
“We kind of need a healthier, light food alternative as opposed to just smoothies, so I’m really excited about it,” Merrill said.
While Freshens was only open for a preview week during the summer, Myers said business during that time was promising.
“The summer isn’t always a teller of what the school year will bring, but it’s certainly encouraged us,” Myers said.
Freshens has been a mainstay at N.C. State University for several years now, Jennifer Gilmore, the school’s spokeswoman for dining, said.
