JMU students, faculty and staff will now be able to get their favorite caffeinated beverage on the run via a Starbucks truck that will be rolling through JMU campus this year.

Starbucks has partnered with three universities as a trial of this new concept: James Madison University, Arizona State University, and Coastal Carolina University.

Per the news release from Starbucks....

The new truck, a pilot mobile service coming to three college campuses this fall, offers a menu of drinks and food nearly identical to what customers would find in their neighborhood Starbucks stores.

The Starbucks mobile truck can move to various locations on campus throughout the day, making it convenient for students and faculty to grab a snack or beverage. While hours will vary on each campus, trucks are able to adjust business hours to suit the needs of their customers, in some cases staying open later than a dining hall.

The Starbucks truck will start operating at JMU on August 25.  The photo above is a photo from Starbucks -- but I'm eager to see what the actual truck looks like on JMU campus.  If you see it in action, email me a photo of it to scott@HarrisonburgHousingToday.com.
