<p>WILKES-BARRE &#8212; Zime, the restaurant in the King&#8217;s on the Square building on Public Square, will soon be converted to a Chick-fil-A restaurant.</p><p>According to an &#8220;internal notice,&#8221; representatives from King&#8217;s College and three prospective food service vendors met on campus last Friday to review proposals to provide dining and related services to the college.</p><p>In their proposals, the vendors &#8212; Aramark Corp., Metz Culinary Management, and Chartwells (a Compass Group company) &#8212; all committed to making significant investments in their King&#8217;s College operations, including establishing a Chick-fil-A franchise in the King&#8217;s on the Square location currently occupied by Zime.</p><p>The internal notice stated this will be the Wyoming Valley&#8217;s first Chick-fil-A outlet. Two years ago, developers had entertained the idea of opening a Chick-fil-A location on the Wilkes-Barre Township property that now houses LongHorn Steakhouse and Buffalo Wild Wings, <a href="https://www.timesleader.com/archive/342065/news-business-668531-chick-fil-a-no-longer-coming-to-w-b-twp" target="_blank">but those plans were ultimately scrapped</a>.</p><p>In the next phase of the process, college administrators will closely review the proposals and prepare recommendations for the King&#8217;s College Board of Directors.</p><p>Recommendations will be presented to the board at its next meeting in February, following which the new vendor will be named.</p><p>There will be a 60-day transition period prior to the new vendor taking over from Sodexo on July 1, 2016.</p><style>
