Runza National, Inc. operated a store in the University of Nebraska - Lincoln City Campus Union for a decade before closing in 2018 due to being outbid by two other vendors. There was student backlash as many people felt that the Runza was strongly identified as being truly Nebraskan.

Our University has approximately 1/3 of students from out of state and country many of those people have likely not experienced Runza. Runza is a staple of Nebraska culture and cuisine and it has helped shape the Nebraskan identity.

Having a Runza store in the largest Public University in the State of Nebraska gave it a unique aspect contrary to other Universities in the country.  Please add your name to this petition to bring this unique chain back to our beloved University.
