The closure of the north campus Burger King in December has not affected the franchise located in the University Union.

The restaurant?s property lease expired over winter break prompting the removal of the north campus franchise over the semester break. Some students wonder why.

“They just asked me why it was closed,” said Vang Her, manager of the University Union Burger King.

Despite more competition in the Union, including Round Table, Gordito Burrito and Kung Fu Fats, Her said business has remained steady.

The addition of burgers at The Grill on the north side of campus may be a reason that business has not increased in the Union Burger King.

Another reason may be that some students simply didn?t know about the north campus Burger King.

“That?s usually not my side of the campus,” said student Aurash Behbahani. “I didn?t even know it existed.”

“I knew it existed but I never walked over there,” said student Stephen Babb.

The CSUS Foundation is discussing how the space vacated by the north campus Burger King could best be used.

Proposals ranging from a meeting room to a large storage area have been talked about, but “nothing has been finalized yet,” said David Levy, assistant director of marketing services for the CSUS Foundation.
