Texas Wesleyan students have a new campus eatery to look forward to this semester. Opening Aug. 18, West Express Eatery, located in the north side of the Baker Building, will feature two dining concepts served up fresh and made-to-order.

“We are very excited to debut the West Express Eatery and are certain the fresh concepts, convenient location and to-go options will be a big hit with students, faculty and staff,” Pati Alexander, vice president of enrollment and student services, said. “Although it is unfortunate that the Dora’s Dining Hall renovation project is delayed, we couldn’t be more pleased with the dining selections available.”

In addition to the new West Express Eatery, a full-service dining location, named The Sub, will be located in the Brown Lupton Campus Center.

• The artisan pizza restaurant allows guests to create their own specialty pizza with their choice of chicken, sausage, pepperoni, veggie and cheese toppings.
