Radford University Campus Dining Updates Ft. Chick Fil A, Moe’s and More!

By: Brandon Whitaker

The past five months have been a demoralizing time for students who enjoy a variety of dining options in and around Campus. It was during this past year that Moe’s on Tyler Ave posted signs of their closure. Their neighbor DP Dough’s saw the bustling weekend shifts dwindle until they too, showed signs of abandonment. Towards the end of last semester, on one fateful Saturday in April, Chick Fil A and Hissho Sushi were also crossed off the list of options so the University could get each of them renovated. 

This past Saturday a new and improved Hissho Sushi was opened and is now located in the Bonnie next to the Chick Fil A, where Student Choice operated previously. Hissho’s weekly hours will be from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. on weekdays and 12 p.m. to 12 a.m. on weekends. As for Chick Fil A according to new.dineoncampus.com the Bonnie Chick Fil A will open on October 1st. 

Over the weekend the Tartan was able to speak with Jeff Price, co founder of Price Williams Reality about the properties that housed Moe’s and DP Dough’s. The rumors swirling about Moe’s being replaced by another Mexican restaurant are true. It will be a restaurant and bar, and the aim is for the new owners to open to the public in October. Unfortunately we could not obtain the name of the new restaurant before printing. DP Doughs is still under lease at this time and it seems that the owners of the property are in the process of finding a new tenant.
