On Friday, Oct. 26 Einstein Bros. Bagels opened in University Hall on George Mason University’s Fairfax campus.

 Manager Vada Smith said the opening went well despite closing earlier than normal business hours and not having the LED sign up until Nov. 6. Smith is confident that people will take advantage of their location because of its size and surrounding. 

“We have lots of space set up for laptops, and with all the [surrounding] administration, people would want to come spend time here,” Smith said. 

The decision to place Einstein Bros. Bagels in University Hall was part of an effort to spread out dining options around campus, according to Mason Dining’s Resident District Manager Ram Nabar. Nabar also said Einstein’s was chosen because there was a demand for coffee, bagels, and buns, and it has been popular at other universities. 

According to Smith, this Einstein Bros. Bagels in University Hall is a full service location that serves all menu items available at off-campus locations. 

Mason Dining will host a grand opening for Einstein Bros. Bagels, Panda Express and UPS on Thursday, Nov. 8 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
