The Boston College community has a new dining option, with the addition of three “On the Fly” convenience stores that have opened on campus.

Customers can purchase a wide variety of products, including groceries and beverages, as well as specialty items like self-serve bulk candy items, fresh granola and smoothies.

“Students have been asking for them for quite some time,” said BC Dining Services Director Helen Wechsler, “and we finally came up with the space and the means to make it happen.”

The “On the Fly” locations are on the second floor of Corcoran Commons (adjacent to The Loft@Addie’s), in Stuart Hall on Newton Campus and in McElroy Commons at the previous site of The Chocolate Bar, a popular campus eatery that will reopen as part of the new Stokes Hall. 

Each “On the Fly” store is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and accepts all major credit cards, Dining Services meal plans and EagleBucks.
