Auntie Anne’s closes amid campus dining overhaul

Updated: Aug. 12, 2016 at 9:48 a.m.

Say goodbye to afternoon pretzels and strawberry lemonade in the Marvin Center.

Auntie Anne’s, the popular soft pretzel venue on the first floor of the Marvin Center, closed after last semester, University spokesman Kurtis Hiatt said in an email Tuesday.

J Street, formerly the Foggy Bottom campus’s dining hall, is currently undergoing renovations and the space will become a more modest dining option.

The pretzel chain opened its location on campus in the fall of 2012.

Students who want to get their pretzel fix will have to head to Union Station, now the closest Auntie Anne’s location to campus, according to the company’s website.

Officials so far have not said if there will be any dining venues in the Marvin Center to replace J Street, which closed as part of a plan to overhaul campus dining. Restaurant Associates took over for Sodexo as campus dining provider earlier this summer.
