Pei Wei partners with Aramark, opens first campus location

Pei Wei, the fast-casual restaurant known for its Asian-inspired menu, has partnered with Aramark to open its newest location at Arizona State University (ASU).

The new unit, which opened Aug. 13, is the fast casual’s first restaurant on a college campus and will be operated in partnership with Aramark, who has been ASU’s foodservice provider since 2007.

The menu will feature five varieties of sushi and Pei Wei’s Honey-Seared Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken Wok entrées, as well as grab-and-go items such as the Spicy Mango Wrap, Grilled Chicken Banh Mi and Sriracha Caesar Salad.

“We’re proud to partner with Aramark to open our first college campus location in our own backyard at ASU, just in time for the fall semester,” said Mike Welborn, president of global brand development for P.F. Chang's and Pei Wei, in a statement. “We look forward to serving even more Phoenix-area diners and hope this is the first of many on-campus locations.”
