West Virginia University Dining Services announced plans to
open the quick-service restaurant Which Wich Superior Sandwiches in the Mountainlair.
The restaurant,
scheduled to open in April, offers more than 50 varieties of customizable
sandwiches. The menu will also include chips, hand-dipped shakes and cookies.
“We
researched a lot of options to decide what restaurant would be best for the
Mountainlair,” said David Friend, director of Dining Services. “Students have
been communicating for some time that they wanted a healthier, tastier option
in the Mountainlair and the new Which Wich partnership will add a wide variety
of choices, including healthier selections and vegetarian alternatives at a
quick-service pace.”
Which
Wich, a Dallas based franchise, is best known for its creative self-ordering
system where customers use a Sharpie to mark their requests on a paper sandwich
bag. Sandwiches are then returned to the customer in the bag they originally
marked to ensure that custom orders are clearly communicated and quickly
fulfilled, keeping the wait time to a minimum.
The
franchise won the Menu Masters Award for Healthful Innovations in 2015.
Which
Wich will accept Dining Plan Swipes for dinner, as well as
Dining Dollars, Mountie Bounty, credit, debit and cash without time restrictions.
