Fans of shoestring fries and lo mein can begin celebrating; Freddy's Frozen Custard
& Steakburgers and Panda Express are coming to the Rhatigan Student Center at Wichita
State this fall.
WSU Dining recognized a need for new dining options through guest feedback, satisfaction
surveys and student committees. Through these conversations, a decision was made to
replace Mondo Subs and Sono with Panda Express and Freddy's, the top two brands suggested
by students.
“Wichita State University and Chartwells were able to work together to bring not just
one, but both of these brands to campus,” says Jeremy Jefferson, marketing manager
for Chartwells. “We couldn't be more excited.”
Panda Express will offer its full menu, without sushi. This is the first Freddy's
location on a college campus, so the menu is still being finalized. However, they
will absolutely serve frozen custard.
Freddy's was founded in Wichita in 2002, and recently opened their 300th restaurant
in March, 2018.
