LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 30, 2014) — UK Dining will host the grand opening celebration of the Subway Café on the University of Kentucky campus at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30.  The new restaurant is located in the Science Library, in the M.I. King Building.

Grand opening activities will include food samples and beverage samples, a ribbon cutting ceremony and giveaways.

The SUBWAY chain is famous for its made-to-order foot long and 6-inch submarine sandwiches. Fully customizable, the sandwiches are served on Italian, wheat and a variety of seasoned breads that are baked fresh daily in each restaurant. Hot, toasted and cold subs are available with an assortment of meats, cheeses, vegetables and condiments, all added per customer request. The SUBWAY chain’s “Under 6” menu features sandwiches with six grams of fat or less, while exclusively prepared gourmet-inspired sauces can be used to complement any sandwich on the menu.

“Students have been asking for additional dining outlets on campus and Subway is, by far, one of their favorite brands. We are thrilled to open this second Subway location in M.I. King Library,” said Dan Palombo, vice president of operations for UK Dining. “We are confident that the new campus dining addition will be a popular choice not only among students, but also staff and guests.”

Subway Café in The Science Library of the M.I. King Building is open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-3 p.m.  There is also a Subway located in the Student Center, open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-8 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Both locations accept Flex Dollars, Plus Account, cash, Visa and MasterCard.
