Many people on the Concord University campus may have heard the rumor going around at the end of the Fall semester that Aramark had lost its contract with the University and would shortly be leaving the campus. A conversation with Randy Keaton, head of Aramark dining services, proved this rumor to be false. Aramark signed a ten-year contract in 2011, meaning that they will remain on Concord’s campus until at least 2021. When asked, Mr. Keaton said he was unsure how the rumor got started, but that it was possibly due to a mix-up or miscommunication of the termination of a contract with Pipestem that happened around the same time that the rumor first appeared.
