With a commitment to making plant-based food more accessible to all, the students, faculty and residents near one of California’s most iconic universities will now be able to enjoy Hart House’s craveable, sustainable, and plant-forward food, including the signature burg’rs, chick’n sandwiches, nuggets, shakes, and more. The new location offers 1,310 square feet of interior space and 2,300 square feet of beautifully landscaped common area with 40 outdoor seats, lounge seating, a water feature, fire pit and table games including Giant Jenga and Cornhole.
“I am very excited that we are opening our fourth Hart House at USC,” said Kevin Hart. “College students are always looking for easy and delicious meals and Hart House satisfies both of those wants. College students are the next generation of leaders and thought starters and bringing them our delicious plant-based food feels like great synergy as we all try to do a bit better for ourselves now and look to improve the world for the next generations.”
The chain once again enlisted Kai Williams of Studio 7 Design Group and Nicollete Santos to bring the signature design of fresh and vibrant colors to life, complete with the beloved Hart Icon as an LED, neon-style design moment. “Hart House USC represents the first of what is to be many future college locations,” said CEO Andy Hooper. “As Hart House is Serving Up a New Era, we are thrilled to offer this community a new way to discover and enjoy plant-based food, while we simultaneously create a sustainable environment for our employees and challenge the status quo.”
The chain is committed to helping the communities it becomes a part of, and will be donating 10% of opening day proceeds to their community partner, LA Promise Fund, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preparing Los Angeles students for success in college, career, and life. “We are honored to be the Community Spotlight Partner for the location USC,” said LA Promise Fund CEO/President, Veronica Melvin. “While we nourish students’ minds, Hart House feeds the appetite for tasty yet affordable food from a company constantly striving to build healthier and happier neighborhoods.”
