Students can drive to the new location within 10 minutes.
Fresh Kitchen is a quick service restaurant founded in Florida in 2014, with its first location opening in South Tampa. The new store will be the chain's 15th store.
The restaurant allows guests to create a bowl by choosing a base, protein, veggies and sauce.
The base includes brown rice, chilled sweet potato noodles, and kale slaw. Protein and vegetables include grilled citrus chicken, grilled herb steak, basil mushrooms, and shaved Brussels sprouts.
For students who consider themselves “college broke,” “four bowls” may be the most cost-effective option. This bowl includes two bases, vegetables, protein, and sauce and costs $10.25.
But for those who want a little more protein, the Six Bowl is $13.25 and includes two bases, two vegetables, two proteins, and one sauce.
This summer, don't walk, hit Fresh Kitchen.
