The sur- |ts said that students leat off campus due I food quality, and choice. - With Chartwells leaving, Clackamas’ food service com mittee needed to find a new vendor. The food service com mittee contacted potentially interested restaurants and caterers. “We interviewed, I believe, eight,” said Wilton. Outlaw is a group of separate corporations in Washington, Oregon, and California. It is a family owned business that started in Sisters, Oregon. The company has been around for about 15 years. The name Outlaw came from the mascot of Sisters, which is a wild stallion. “We believe that every cus tomer counts,” said Outlaw Manager Steve McGraw. Outlaw wants to learn what the college likes so they can give students and faculty what they‘want: “We are a family business, we want to treat our employ- ees like family, and we treat our guests like family,” added McGraw. Chartwells received a $24,000 stipend per year until its last year when it was discontinued. At this point, Outlaw is not asking for a stipend. Unlike Chartwells, Outlaw is willing to partner up with outside caterers. Student Daniel Birch said, “The food is good; but the price for the fries are too high.” “We’re delighted so far, we think they’re doing a very good $ob,” said Wilton. “We think the food is better. It’s a better financial arrangement for the college.” “It’s a better situation then what we had last year,” Wilton added'. Outlaw caters a fair once, year, but McGraw does not enjoy it. “I don’t know how to say this, but we love it here (Clackamas,)” said McGraw.

Business f he doing very well con- sidering that it is so new to the location, but despite of the multi tude of customers, service was still surprisingly punctual. The business really does seem to care about the customer. A second party stated that she liked the food, service, hours, and prices. She also suggested that if the restaurant had offers for students, it would probably get more business. It would also be beneficial if Five Guys had Wi-Fi connection. The probability of getting more busi ness around lunchtime would be much greater. Meals are served with your choice of a main item (a hamburger • or hot dog), a drink, and a large amount of flies which makes it well worth the price. One of the workers recommended sharing fries with a friend because they give so many. Not that hungry? There is also the option of little hamburgers for a cheaper price. The prices are average. It would be easy to spend around $10 for a meal, but it is well worth the price for how much food you get. You can visit www.fiveguys. com to view menu options, store locations, events, history of the company, franchise opportunities, career opportunities, contact infor mation, and more. Five Guys is located in Oregon City across the street from Clackamas Community College on Highway 213. It is open daily from 11a.m. to 11p.m., which is conve nient for any hungry college student looking for a quick bite after class.
