A popular dining hall on campus is closed for renovations and new businesses are taking note. Greg Tate has more in this Bobcat Update.

Jones Dining Hall has served hungry Bobcats since the 1970's. The popular eating facility is undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation to better serve Texas State's growing population. The venture has a projected completion date of August 2016. Many Bobcats say they are missing interesting dining options such as Panda Express.

Fortunately, off-campus dining alternatives will soon become just steps away. Just down the hill from campus, budding businesses are setting up shop to serve hungry Bobcats. With a close proximity to the over 36-thousand students on campus, the square is quickly becoming a hot spot for popular chains. Austin favorite, Torchy's Taco's is gearing up for an appetizing February opening alongside Jersey Mike's and Smoothie King. Small businesses are also cashing in on the allure of San Marcos. Pierogies, poutine, and hula hooping are all on the menu at Dine and Dash, a food truck that has been parked in San Marcos since last November. Its owner, a Texas State M-B-A student, hopes to encourage Texas State students to eat good food and make good decisions.

With the opening of all of these new restaurants, Bobcat's have something besides knowledge to be hungry for. For Bobcat Update, I'm Greg Tate.
