One new addition includes breakfast at Wendy's in the Union.
The fast-food restaurant became famous in 1969 for serving square burgers right here in Ohio when the first Wendy's opened in downtown Columbus, according to the company's Web site.
And now the Wendy's in the Union offers breakfast from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Wendy's Manager Rod Boron said breakfast has been a hit so far.
"People are really responding well to the new breakfast and it has exceeded our expectations," Boron said.
Like a majority of other students, sophomore Natasha Lee appreciates having another alternative for satisfying her morning hunger pains.
"I knew in other cities Wendy's offered breakfast and I'm happy to have it at BG," Lee said.
Lee routinely orders sausage gravy biscuits - just one of the several options from the menu.
Senior Nicholas Bockoven likes having Wendy's for breakfast too.
"Today I ordered the sausage gravy biscuit and it's pretty good," Bockoven said.
Other offerings include biscuits with either sausage or chicken, French toast sticks, burritos and combo options.
Boron said the big breakfast combo and steak sandwich have been the two most popular options at Wendy's in the Union.
"The Wendy's in the Union is the only Wendy's in Bowling Green where breakfast is served," said Boron. "To get breakfast at another Wendy's location you'd have to go to Toledo."
But for those who don't want breakfast, regular menu items are still being served - but students should expect to wait a few minutes.
"We realize not everyone wants breakfast, but since we have to cook it at a time when mostly breakfast is being served, there may be a wait," Boron said.
Sophomore Brittany Muellins likes eating Wendy's in the morning as well. She said Wendy's breakfast is so good that she knows of friends who collect coupons for the purpose of eating breakfast there.
"I've ate there a couple of times this year and its really good except I have to watch it because of flex funds," Muellins said.
But what Muellins and other students on campus don't realize is that the term flex funds is no longer used by University Dining Services, said UDS Director for Business Affairs Charles Wiersma.
