Fresh Dinin Campus Grille receives major upgrade Students were no longer limited to their dorm rooms for watching television and playing video games on campus. J.W. ' s Grille replaced Bobby ' s Grille on the first floor of the J.W. Jones Student Union. J.W. ' s came with a total remodeling which included all new tables, chairs, lighting, carpet and a striking new paint job. Red, purple and green walls with new paintings and sculptures created the new look. It reminds me of Applebees, Jana Harding said. And I really like their chili fries. The new restaurant was also equipped with such new technology as wireless in- ternet access and flat screen televisions that could be hooked up to a projector with a VCR and DVD player. Students previously only had one tele- vision in the Union where they could re- lax. J.W. ' s provided a new place for stu- dents to unwind with its doors opening a few hours before serving food and clos- ing a few hours after they stopped. The televisions could also be used to play Buzztime, an interactive game where students could play trivia, sports games. A wide variety of colors catch the eyes of students as they pass by the new J.W. ' s res- taurant. J.W. ' s replaced Bobby ' s Grille and expanded, photo by Chris Lee Students Ashley Freekin and Zach Hall sit near a bright red wall inside J.W. ' s Grille. Each wall was repainted with a different vibrant color before the opening of the restaurant, photo by Chris Lee casual games such as pool or card games like Texas hold ' em. Students could also register and com- pete against other Buzztime players in different locations and keep track of their Buzztime points and ranks and even be- come eligible to win prizes. A new pager system was put in place at J.W. ' s so students could wait for their food wherever they wanted and be paged when it was finished instead of standing around and waiting while their food was being cooked, as was the case at Bobby ' s Grille. We wanted a place where people could place an order and leave or eat it somewhere else in the Union, Jessica Whaley, Marketing Manager for Campus Dining said. J.W. ' s had an expanded menu that in- cluded more cold sandwiches and salads along with some of the favorites from Bobby ' s menu. J.W. ' s customer counts were up 78 per- cent and sales were up 118 percent from when it was Bobby ' s Grille for the month of September.
