Dining Retail Operations

Retail Operations: 

Kentucky State University offers additional dining venues where spending your flex/dining dollars occur. Residential students opting to eat at the retail locations will be utilizing their declining dining dollar balances.  Commuter students with an active commuter meal plan using this venue will be spending from their declining dining dollar balances as well.

A list of the current retail operations on campus appears below. The hours* and availability of these dining venues may be limited or changed (based on directives from the University and/or other extenuating circumstances).  Wherever possible, dining services will continue to operate though operations may follow the weekend schedule (brunch and dinner).  Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to sign-up for text and/or social media alerts as well as checking their official University email for updates and announcements.
