Wendi's
From Stmargarets
Wendi's is a quaint little donut shoppe located in the heart of the Ortega Business Center, a short walk from the SMES campus. Aptly named for the scintillating hostess, Wendi's is an afterschool hot-spot for athletes, scholars, parents, and blue-collar workers alike. The diversity of the menu ranges from doughnuts, of course, miscellaneous pastries and baked goods to bagels, soups, and muffins. A daring smoothie menu consisting of over 10 flavor combinations offers something for every taste imaginable. Recently added to the Wendi's scene was a fridge housing a myriad of chilled beverages including (but not limitied to)the ever-popular Red Bull, Monster brand Energy Drink, SoBe and SoBe Light (not recommended), juices, a wide array of refreshing colas, and water for all the boring folk out there. Also a new addition to the Wendi's family is a self-contained freezing apparatus in which dwell delectable ice cream treats. This freezer is often bombarded by rambunctious SMES students, especially those still clad in the juvenille Crimson Sweater. Often lining the shelves of this fine establishment are Asian potteries, plants, and small glass paraphenalia, all of which can be purchased by the general public! The frequent Wendi's patron (those that leave a hefty tip, of course) can enjoy free pastry creations around closing time. A quiet outdoor patio complete with plastic and metal furniture can be found outside the store. This cozy veranda has a pleasant view of the SMES/Ortega Business Center parking lot, complete with parking pads for those SMES students who drive an automobile to school. Overall, Wendi's has been a positive addition to the SMES family and the employees have come to know us as not only customers, but friends. They have even created custom smoothies for a few much-appreciated store-goers and posted an SMES schedule next to their register. So please, visit Wendi's today and discover the joy that a freshly baked doughnut or a succulent smoothie can bring to your day!
