Garbanzo is now available in CEO James Park's alma mater — St. Louis University —  inside Fusz Hall, at 3700 W. Pine Mall in St. in Louis.

"Garbanzo is a popular option on college campuses because students of all ages and nationalities are more conscious of what they're eating and want food that is healthier, less processed and more sustainable," Park said in a company press release. "At Garbanzo, we serve delicious and nutritious preservative-free meals in a convenient and affordable format that not only make our guests feel better but helps them perform better as well. I'm proud to bring Garbanzo to my alma mater."

This marks the brand's 29th unit and 10th to open on a university campus, Chief Development Officer Larry Sidoti, said in the release.

"Garbanzo is an attractive option for students of all ages because it offers fresh, nutritious and great tasting food served in a contemporary and welcoming environment. Plus, Garbanzo is dedicated to satisfying every palate — including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diners —  and we believe that if you eat better, you'll feel brighter," he said. "So, the combination of high traffic with a diverse demographic makes college campuses a successful option for Garbanzo as we continue to expand."

Garbanzo, which has major market ownership opportunities available, is now operating in seven states with an additional 30 restaurants set to open by 2022, according to the release.
