Eatery serving up nutritious noshes

A new eatery on the lower level of the Ron. W. Ianni Faculty of Law Building is the result of a partnership between the University of Windsor Students’ Alliance and a grad.

Mackie Jones (BComm 2019) is the owner-operator of the Açai Shack, which specializes in providing healthy, affordable, and beautifully crafted treats, perfect for busy students needing a nutritious boost between classes. The menu features a variety of açai bowls with three unique bases, protein-packed smoothies, energy-boosting protein balls, and a selection of beverages including coffee and matcha.

The business is based in Amherstburg and opened a campus location Oct. 1. It operates 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday to Friday.

“We are excited to welcome the Açai Shack to our campus,” says UWSA president Ghallia Hashem. “This partnership not only supports Windsor alumni but also offers our students delicious and healthy eating options right where they study.”

To accommodate hectic student schedules, the outlet provides the option of placing orders online for pickup. Find more information about the Açai Shack and its offerings on its website.
