That seems to be the motto at the Michigan Union, which is searching to replace several of its current restaurant tenants with new ones.
According to a Michigan Daily report, leases for the restaurants in the Union, located on South State Street, are set to expire in April. Restaurants include Amer’s Mediterranean Deli, Subway, Pizza Hut, Wendy’s, and a shared space for Mrs. Fields, Freshens smoothies and Auntie Anne’s Pretzels.
All of the restaurants except Panda Express, whose lease expires in 2018, will be replaced, the report says. University Unions plans to open a market and cafe in the current Amer’s space.
U-M also plans to undergo interior renovations to the Union’s dining area to improve seating, flooring and lighting.
