Aramark picks up Drexel dining services contract

Drexel University selected Aramark as its new dining-services provider, effective Dec. 11, university president John A. Fry said Monday.

Drexel had to move quickly to name a new food-services vendor after a dispute with the  current vendor, SodexoMagic LLC, a joint venture of Magic Johnson Enterprises and  Sodexo, one of Aramark's top global competitors.

Soon after Drexel issued a termination letter to SodexoMagic in September, SodexoMagic file a federal lawsuit alleging that Drexel misrepresented expected growth in Drexel's student body during contract negotiations.

Center-City-based Aramark also recently won a contract to replace Sodexo at Temple University.
