GROSSMONT COLLEGE – With pricing at the Sodexo outlet a matter of campus controversy, the Summit staff decided to see what other nearby off-campus food outlets are charging. We went to the Subway and to the Fresh & Easy market to see if we could find items matching those on sale at Sodexo.
Not all the items could be directly compared. In the chart below, a blank space indicates that we were unable to find a matching item at this outlet.
The comparisons were made in the second week of October 2010. Prices may change.
