Local couple to open restaurant on the UWSP at Marshfield campus

A new restaurant will open next week at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point at Marshfield campus, offering breakfast and lunch to students, faculty, staff and community members.

The Hungry Hub will hold a grand opening event on Monday, Jan. 27, at 10 a.m. at the UWSP at Marshfield Commons. Operated by Sherri and Bruce Winer of Marshfield, the restaurant will be open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays, with expanded hours for evening events at the university such as concerts and theatre performances.

"The restaurant gives us the opportunity to bring the community to the UWSP Marshfield campus," said Sherri Winer. "We are looking forward to offering a variety of foods and getting to know the students here."

The couple began their food service journey with The Daily Special food truck, which is operated with their son, Adam, in Marshfield. It offers different foods every week, from breakfast items to twists on ordinary food, like bacon cheeseburger egg rolls, rice bowls, soups and comfort foods. The Hungry Hub will also offer a variety of breakfast, lunch and snack options, along with catering.

Adam Winer and Tony Andrews, the UWSP at Marshfield campus executive, met through connections at a local chiropractic office and discussed having The Daily Special truck stop at the campus for student meals. Bruce Winer then reached out to Andrews to discuss options for a more permanent restaurant solution right on campus, leading to The Hungry Hub.

Bruce and Sherri Winer have lived in Marshfield for more than 30 years. Sherri is a registered nurse and Bruce has had his own lawn care and snow removal business.

"Our campus is thrilled to have The Hungry Hub to provide fellowship and food options for our local community," said Andrews. "I'm excited for the possibilities the restaurant offers for daily meals and special evening events."
