Currently, the nearest food option to the Kirby Rec Center for non-athletes is Gilbert's Cafe. Students needing some extra fuel before a workout or wanting to supplement their workout with a protein shake are left with the sole option of packing their own. Additionally, research shows that after a workout, protein should be ingested within 30-60 minutes to promote muscle growth. With many students heading to the locker rooms after a workout before a long walk back up to main campus, a lot of us are missing that window. 

In the past, the Rec Center has had food options but it no longer serves any food or drink products. It is now time to bring back this luxury for students needing a boost before or after an intense physical activity. Not only could the school make money on the business, but the stand could also attract more students to the Rec Center, and also serve as a great talking point for admissions. Although the school has already played with this idea, for whatever reason, nothing has been materialized. Now, the students are willing to take matters into their own hands. We propose to rent out the Ticket Office booth for when it is not in use to convert the space into our concession shop. The school would make rent money on a space it currently leaves largely unused and students would have an opportunity to gain experience managing and operating their own business, donating a portion of their profits back to the Easton community.
