Sparky's Place

Your resident dining hall, Sparky’s Place, located in the Gladys Sakowich Campus Center, was renovated over the summer of 2009. At that time, Sparky’s Place was named after a 31-year Merrimack Dining Services employee, Cynthia “Sparky” Ouellette. With the renovation and the new name, the entire dining program was renewed with many fresh offerings and exciting services based on feedback from students.

For better speed of service, convenience and nutrition, many of our offerings are pre-plated restaurant style. We encourage all to taste what is being offered at each platform. For those that would like more of one item simply ask the server for more.

Our offerings are varied as we offer selections at eight different platforms; grill, entrees, pizza, calzones and more, pasta sauté, made-to-order deli, custom cuisine at Salad FX, fresh salad bar and homemade soup selections

Sparky’s Place is tray free. We support the need to help create a better tomorrow for all. By being tray free, we help save countless gallons of water and detergent from going into the waste stream. We encourage students to help themselves to all they care to eat.

Sparky’s Place features a coffee bar offering the Aspretto program of fair trade coffees and organic teas. From the machine in which we brew, to everything that touches Aspretto has been chosen to respect the environment. By experiencing Aspretto, you not only give back to the farmers and communities on which we service but also contribute to the Stop Hunger program.
