Purdue Food Co.\u2019s retail dining locations across the West Lafayette campus continue to evolve to meet the needs of faculty, staff and students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy Bowls, a new line of Kosher-certified grab-and-go options, are now being offered at the Purdue Memorial Union<\/a> (PMU) Boilermaker Market<\/a>. Additional information about Holy Bowls and other Kosher- and halal-friendly options on campus is available in a separate article<\/a>. At the same time in the PMU, an allergen-free dining option has opened its doors while other options have closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KNOW Eatery<\/a> is now open in the Atlas Family Marketplace on the ground floor of the PMU. Following a soft launch at the start of the semester, the locally founded concept celebrated a grand opening on Jan. 26. Founded in 2024 and a regular at the Purdue Farmers Market, KNOW Eatery is family-owned and operated, offering an allergen-free kitchen that is free from gluten, dairy, nuts, soy, sesame and animal products. The menu includes a variety of options such as tacos, burgers, soups, baked goods and smoothies, making it a good option for individuals with food allergies as well as vegans, vegetarians and pescatarians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKNOW Eatery reflects our continued commitment to creating welcoming spaces that support all members of the campus community\u201d said Jessica Robertson, associate vice president of Auxiliary Services. \u201cAdding a high-quality dining option in the PMU that prioritizes food allergy safety enhances the daily experience for faculty, staff, students and visitors who rely on the union as a central gathering place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Anyway You Slice It is no longer operating in the Atlas Family Marketplace. The concept remains available through Purdue Food Co. catering services<\/a> for events and gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean Plate, previously located in Chaney-Hale Hall of Science, and Scoops + Sweets, formerly located in the Honors College, have closed. The former Clean Plate space will be converted into Boilermaker Market @ Chaney, a 24-hour, self-checkout convenience market similar to other Boilermaker Market locations on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
