Paradise Palms closed its doors on Friday until an unspecified reopening under new management. The university’s Food Services department has responded to this closure by adding new food trucks on Maile Way. Phyllis Look, marketing and communications manager for campus services, said that Food Services and Centerplate, the operator of Paradise Palms, mutually agreed that Centerplate’s contract would be ending early, though she could not say why. “We’re transitioning to new management … they’ll take a little while to refresh the space, bring in their own vendors, but I can’t exactly say when we’re going to be reopening,” she said. Because Food Services is still in negotiations with the management company that will eventually replace Centerplate, Look couldn’t give details about who would be taking over. Asked whether the closure of Paradise Palms would negatively affect Campus Center, which is already crowded due to construction, L ook encouraged students to tr y the food trucks around campus that Food Ser vices contracts with. Momo Burger, The Curb and Shogunai Tacos are the three newest additions.
