Subway, 2.mato Open To The Campus Community

Five dollar foot-longs will officially be on the menu at Canisius when classes begin Monday, August 29.  Students will enjoy an enhanced dining experience that features the addition of a Subway franchise and a 2.mato restaurant located in the Old Main Café (the newly-remodeled Old Main Lounge).  The menu enhancements are a result of students advocating for additional dining options.

“I believe Subway will be the busiest place on campus and the first choice on everyone’s lunch menu,” said Royshawn Sessum ’12.  Sessum, Taryn Spencer ’12 and Essence Porter ’12 are orientation leaders who sampled a Subway lunch last week with President John J. Hurley.
