A collaboration between the University and Wegmans is a first of its kind.<\/h2>\n

University of Rochester<\/a> students, faculty, and staff no longer need to leave campus to satisfy their Wegmans craving. Under a new partnership, University dining locations<\/a> are now stocking many of the beloved grocery chain\u2019s most popular prepared foods\u2014from Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies and Ultimate Chocolate Cake, to protein bowls, pasta, Asian meals, and vegetarian options.<\/p>\n

The collaboration makes it easier than ever for the University of Rochester community to grab a Wegmans favorite between classes or after work. Delivered to campus throughout the week, the prepared meals and snacks are available for purchase at select dining locations with student meal plans, Rocky Bucks, and credit cards.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>This is more than just convenient access to food we all feel good about. It\u2019s a celebration of two iconic Rochester institutions working together to enrich campus life.\u201d<\/div>\n

Delivering prepared meals to a university campus is a new venture for Wegmans\u2014not just in its hometown of Rochester, but anywhere in the country. The grocery store chain has more than 100 locations across nine states and Washington, DC.<\/p>\n

\u201cPartnering with the University of Rochester to launch our new \u2018Meals Market\u2019 concept is an exciting milestone for us,\u201d says Frank Guidice, Wegmans digital restaurant director. \u201cWhen the University of Rochester team brought the idea forward, we saw a unique opportunity to bring the quality, convenience, and variety Wegmans is known for directly to students and staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The partnership began as a pilot program in 2024 and was such a hit that the University and Wegmans kept it going. For the University community, the micro-Wegmans displays marry the experience of shopping at Rochester\u2019s favorite supermarket with on-campus convenience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is more than just convenient access to food we all feel good about,\u201d says University Vice President for Student Life John Blackshear. \u201cIt\u2019s a celebration of two iconic Rochester institutions working together to enrich campus life. When I arrived at the University, I saw bringing Wegmans to campus as a key first step in the strategy to bring the City of Rochester into URochester dining offerings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Katherine Guallpa \u201927, a third-year student, says visiting the Wegmans display in Hillside Market in Susan B. Anthony Halls between classes has become part of her routine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Wegmans,\u201d says Guallpa, who picked up a bowl of Wegmans pasta Alfredo with broccoli and chicken to go. \u201cI don\u2019t know what I\u2019d do without it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The arrangement builds on decades of shared history between the University and Wegmans, two of Rochester\u2019s most recognizable names.<\/p>\n

The Wegman family has been a longtime and generous supporter of the University, helping to establish Wegmans Hall\u2014home to the Goergen Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence\u2014and funding major advancements in children\u2019s health. Wegmans chairman Danny Wegman served as the University\u2019s Board of Trustees chairman from 2016 to 2018, and Wegmans CEO Colleen Wegman earned her MBA at the Simon Business School<\/a> in 2000. Recently, Mary Ellen Burris<\/a>, the longtime head of consumer affairs at Wegmans and an alumna of the Warner School of Education<\/a>, was the subject of a University of Rochester profile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
