\"Beverages\"<\/a>
Restor sells energy beverages and soft drinks, minus the corn syrup, chemicals and caffeine content of name-brand beverage lines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Health food has many homes on the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus, but organic, natural and locally sourced foods are taking over the dining choices in the university\u2019s Northwest Quadrant. Restor opened on the quadrant’s first floor on Monday.<\/p>\n

From gluten-free shelves in UWM convenience stores to cafeteria salad bars and campus gardens that first bloomed on the lawn of the EMS Building in 2011 \u2013 healthy dining has been on the rise at UWM.<\/p>\n

Locally sourced foods began making their way into campus kitchens and convenience stores in 2005, when Restaurant Services purchased $1,200 in local foods. Last year Restaurant Services bought $600,000 of local food for campus consumption.<\/p>\n

Located next to a new, blender-equipped Grind Coffee shop (smoothies and blended coffee drinks are on this menu), Restor is UWM\u2019s newest restaurant operation, and sells only natural, minimally processed or nonprocessed food and beverages.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really scrutinized every product,\u201d says Brian Vetter of UWM Restaurant Operations. \u201cWe took things that are processed out of the equation to focus on food choices that are all natural, and local where possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vetter says some minimally processed foods and beverages may have made it into the inventory. For example, energy drinks and soft drinks line the store\u2019s beverage coolers.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople need them during finals week,\u201d says Vetter.<\/p>\n

\"Custom-made<\/a>
Restor features a build-your-own granola bar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But if you\u2019re looking for an ultra-caffeinated soda or an aggressively fortified sugar-saturated energy beverage, you won\u2019t find it at Restor. Instead, Vetter selected the Zevia All Natural soft drink line. Energy drinkers can try Steaz, a line of organic and fair-trade tea-based energy beverages \u2013 an alternative to the sugar and B-vitamin-laden brews available in most convenience stores.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are at least 26 restaurants on campus where you can get a Pepsi,\u201d Vetter says. \u201cWe\u2019re really focused on bringing new vendors and hard-to-find items to Restor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re trying to take the element of searching and finding healthy foods out of the food-buying process. By bringing hard-to-find items into this one location, we\u2019re hoping to open the door for other restaurant units on campus to offer these choices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among those new vendors is Milwaukee\u2019s own Rishi Tea and Vern\u2019s Cheese of Chilton, Wis. If fresh produce is what customers crave, they can try fresh salads (cherry tomatoes!) and sandwiches in the deli case. Previously available only in campus residence halls, chef and caprese salads and assorted sandwiches are made with as much local produce as UWM kitchens can access. Salads are complemented with campus kitchens\u2019 homemade vinaigrette dressings, rather than prepackaged, processed, high-calorie dressings.<\/p>\n

Organic and all-natural frozen entr\u00e9es are available in Restor\u2019s small freezer aisle, and Vetter says a few of the brands, like Michael Angelo\u2019s, can be hard to find at more conventional grocers.<\/p>\n

The vision of a health-food store has been in the making for a long time. Vetter said student surveys over the past three years have indicated a growing demand for leaner and greener food choices.<\/p>\n

\u201cFeedback tells us the inventory we\u2019ve put together here is being demanded by a core group of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The price tag on most Restor items is comparable to health-food prices at other retail units near UWM. Restor is open from 7:30 a.m. – 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and is open to UWM faculty, staff and students.<\/em><\/p>\n
