Wayne State adds to retail mix with new salad shop

A new restaurant featuring soups, sandwiches and salads -- cleverly named Salad 101 -- will open in Wayne State University's Atkinson Hall on Anthony Wayne Drive in July. The building's commercial spaces are now completely occupied

Nabelah Ghareeb, the university's associate vice-president of business and auxiliary operation, handles all of WSU's commercial leases. She attributes its success in the commercial realm to three primary reasons: "the reputation of the university," the fact that faculty, staff and students are a "captured audience," and that "we work at it -- we absolutely go out and recruit people."

Ghareeb says the family-owned restaurant will be one-of-a-kind.
