The Sunflower: Fuzzy’s embraces WSU vibe in decor, student-centric specials

Fuzzy’s Taco Shop opened on the Wichita State campus for the first day of classes with specials, late-night hours and decor geared towards students.

Fuzzy’s Taco Shop franchise owner Whitney Reitz has opened the first restaurant in Braeburn Square, a new development on the Wichita State campus. Reitz has been with the fast casual dining concept since 2010 since she herself was a college student.

“I love this brand so much — the fast casual dining to get people in and out really quickly, but if you do stay and eat, people feel comfortable enough to stay, drink, and hang out,” said Reitz as reported by The Sunflower.

The WSU Fuzzy’s Taco Shop has late-night hours, “study hour” specials and outlets placed strategically around the store so that students have a place whether they’re trying to plug in or unwind. The store offers extended hours until 10:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and midnight on Friday and Saturday.

Upon opening at 10 am on Monday, the first 50 customers through the doors won free tacos for a year. Graphic design student Christian Hurst started lining up at 1 p.m. the Sunday prior.
