Bo’s Bagels, Zoca, The Dawg House and BYTE Coolers Expand Campus Dining Options

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Â鶹Æƽâ°æ in partnership with Aramark Collegiate Hospitality, will welcome students, faculty and staff back to campus this fall with four new dining options designed to expand food offerings and enhance the campus dining experience.

The new additions include Bo’s Bagels on the lower level of Dover Campus Center and Zoca and The Dawg House on the lower level of Tucker Student Center. Tucker Street Market will close as part of the transition, with BYTE Coolers planned to open soon in Tucker and additional locations across campus. Together, these new dining concepts will provide students, faculty, staff and visitors with a wider variety of food and beverage options.

Bo’s Bagels will hold a soft opening Aug. 17 from 8-10 a.m. During the event, students, faculty and staff will have the opportunity to sample menu items, including beverages prepared by Botrista, a new drink-making robot.

Then, the venue will close until the grand opening celebration on Monday, Aug. 24, at 8 a.m. Guests will receive bagel-themed promotional items and have the opportunity to win additional prizes. The location will operate Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will offer freshly made bagels, bagel sandwiches and specialty beverages.

Zoca is returning to campus in direct response to student feedback. In campus dining surveys, students identified the former dining concept as one they wanted to see return. Â鶹Æƽâ°æ responded by bringing Zoca back this fall, featuring customizable Mexican-inspired meals with a variety of handcrafted salsas, toppings and ingredients. Hours are Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., closed on Saturdays, and open on Sundays from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Also opening this fall is The Dawg House. The restaurant will offer customizable burgers, wings and chicken sandwiches, allowing guests to personalize their meals with a variety of toppings and flavor options. Hours are Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., closed on Saturdays, and open on Sundays from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.

BYTE Coolers are planned for Tucker and additional locations across campus, providing 24/7 access to popular beverages, snacks and grab-and-go items. Customers can simply swipe a card, open the cooler, select their items and go, with purchases charged automatically and no cashier required.

These additions reflect Â鶹Æƽâ°æ’s continued commitment to providing convenient, diverse and student-centered dining experiences while expanding food choices across campus.
