In front of an eager crowd of onlookers, Coahoma Community College unveiled its newly remodeled cafeteria on Wednesday, August 17, in partnership with Thompson Hospitality.
The project, which boasts modern design and warm wood tones, has been in the works since May of this year. The campus is full of excitement to now be able to dine in the enhanced space.
Director of Student Engagement Karen Woods-Done is ecstatic about the renovations made to enhance Coahoma Community College’s cafeteria.
“We look forward to offering our students a variety of different foods. 
We know that our students perform exceptionally well and are prepared more for classes
when they are fed,” said Woods-Done. “We not only want to invite the campus community
to partake in these lovely selections of food and take advantage of all the lovely
food choices, but we also want them to enjoy the space.”
According to Woods-Done, Thompson Hospitality will provide a dining experience that offers a plethora of options to satisfy every student on campus.
“This is an investment for Coahoma Community College and ultimately an investment in our students,” shared Woods-Done. “We want students to know that this is done for them because we want what’s best for them.”
Thompson Hospitality has been in partnership with CCC since 2021 and has entered its second year of service with the college with a bang. The company, which serves as the food service provider for the institution, is the largest minority-owned food service entity, and one of the largest retail food and facilities management companies, in the nation.
“We are proud of our partnership with Thompson Hospitality and look forward to a continued
relationship with them,” said Woods-Done.
Adam Moore, quality assurance manager for Thompson Hospitality, played an integral role in the project and shared what it means for the CCC Campus.
“Our entire method for students, faculty, and staff is for them to be valued in what they are paying for. The remodel shows that we are invested in the college, and we want the student experience to be elevated,” Moore said.
Moore added that Thompson Hospitality wants to give the students what they call “the luxe life” experience.
Luxe Life is a term crafted by Thompson’s team of college student interns to convey the attention to detail, commitment to excellence, and exceptional customer service that will be felt and experienced by each guest.
“We want to elevate the whole dining experience for students all across the country so that students can feel the value of their money spent,” said Moore.
Moore shared the company is very grounded in the values set by its owner. “It’s not necessarily about the growth for us, it is about the dedication to fulfill the commitment of our company.”
CCC has plans to embark on more upgrades in the student union in the near future, but for now, their focus is to ensure students are enjoying the newly remodeled cafeteria
