(DCU Center)

WORCESTER - The city of Worcester, in partnership with the DCU Center, is building a brand new multi-purpose restaurant in the event center and is looking for a new candidate to operate the space.

"This new restaurant continues the city's commitment to making improvements at the DCU Center, and providing amenities that will continue to build the 18-hour-a-day downtown that we have been working towards," said City Manager Edward M. Augustus, Jr. "I can't wait to see what one of Worcester's bright culinary minds can do with this amazing new space."

As part of an incubator concept, SMG, the manager of the DCU Center, and its food and beverage subsidiary SAVOR is accepting application for entrepreneurial candidates.

The anticipated opening of the $594,648 build out of the restaurant space is set to open in mid-September.



The space will not only service the public, but also cater to the patrons on the arena concourse during events.

"Though the individual selected will need to demonstrate significant experience in food and menu preparation, we will be providing them regular on-going assistance in the other aspects of the restaurant business to ensure long term success," said Sandy Dunn, general manager of the DCU Center.

The concept is to provide a supportive environment for a budding food professional to hone their skills with the goal of graduating individuals after several years to open their own restaurant in the City of Worcester.

The candidate operating the space at the DCU Center will have control of all aspects of the business while receiving management consultation, at no cost, in the areas of human resources, government relations, finance, marketing and operations.
