Youngstown State partners with Warren-based food company
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – Youngstown State and AVI Fresh are celebrating a new partnership.
There was a ribbon-cutting Monday morning in the Cushwa Cafe in Cushwa Hall on campus.
AVI Fresh has taken over all campus culinary and hospitality services.
University President Bill Johnson says AVI has been YSU's concessions provider for years and this closer partnership with the Warren-based company has been a long time coming.
'I know how widespread their presence is across the country. I've heard, I've checked the references, I know people that have experienced their dining facilities, so YSU is in for a real treat,' Johnson said.
This contract between YSU and AVI Fresh is for 15 years.
