Everbowl held its grand opening at Sacramento State’s River Front Center on Tuesday, bringing layered acai bowls, smoothies, and sweet and savory toasts to a campus dining scene that already includes national chains and regional favorites.

Those retail vendors operate under an arrangement in which auxiliary organization University Enterprises, Inc. manages campus dining and contracts with foodservice operator Aramark to run the retail food vendors across campus. UEI awarded that dining management contract to Aramark following a competitive proposal process in 2020…
