The leading Mediterranean cuisine brand recently opened in SLU’s Fusz Hall, located at 3700 West Pine Mall in St. Louis. This marks the third GARBANZO in St. Louis and Missouri, and 29th system-wide.

“GARBANZO is a popular option on college campuses because students of all ages and nationalities are more conscious of what they’re eating and want food that is healthier, less processed and more sustainable,” Park said. “At GARBANZO, we serve delicious AND nutritious preservative-free meals in a convenient and affordable format that not only make our guests feel better but helps them perform better as well. I’m proud to bring GARBANZO to my alma mater.”

GARBANZO offers a healthy balanced blend of flavor and nutrition to ensure each visit brings you something fresh, simple and different.

“This marks the 10th GARBANZO restaurant to open on a university campus,” said Chief Development Officer Larry Sidoti. “GARBANZO is an attractive option for students of all ages because it offers fresh, nutritious and great tasting food served in a contemporary and welcoming environment. Plus, GARBANZO is dedicated to satisfying every palate – including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diners – and we believe that if you eat better, you’ll feel brighter. So, the combination of high traffic with a diverse demographic makes college campuses a successful option for GARBANZO as we continue to expand.”
