New Cafe, Same Hive

Letters — Published September 13, 2015

As we launch into a big second year, we want to thank all of our members, users and the whole Concordia community for a great first year!

We are open starting the first day of classes at the Loyola Hive location, and at a temporary kiosk (the “PetiteHive”) out front of our downtown location. We appreciate everyone’s patience, and we will be working hard to provide as much service as possible for the downtown community from our temporary location. Coffee, tea and pastries are available at the Petite Hive kiosk, and our new food items are available at the Loyola Hive! And, of course, we will be giving out our delicious free vegan/vegetarian lunch every weekday at our Loyola location on the top floor of the Student Centre building, starting Sept. 14!

Over the summer we prepared an additional point of sale to increase the speed of our service at the downtown location, revamped our menu, and welcomed talented new worker-members. We are also in on-going negotiations with the university to access the kitchen space on the 7th floor of the Hall building, or comparable space, so that we can help save the community money, expand our services and increase our presence within the campus food-system.

We are excited to welcome everyone to our new space once the construction is complete, and for another great year.

Thanks again for all of your support, input and for using our service. Our space is your space, so if you have a great idea or want to get more involved please don’t hesitate to contact us at hivecafecoop@gmail.com with GET INVOLVED in the subject line!

Be sure to sign up for a membership at the Loyola Hive and at the Petite Hive kiosk! It’s $5 (refundable when you are no longer a member) and you get a discount at the Hive, a vote and other perks!

Stoked for another great year!
