The Marketplace
The Heart of Campus Dining
Located on the second floor of the Baugher Student Center, the Marketplace is the heart of campus dining — the main spot for students, faculty, staff, and visitors to gather and eat.
It’s an All-You-Care-To-Eat experience, whether you’re joining friends for a meal or grabbing breakfast quick before class. Prefer to take your food on the go? The OZZI to-go system makes it easy for anyone with a current Etown ID.
Payment is flexible, too: use your meal plan through your Etown College ID card, or pay with cash, credit card, Jay Bucks, or campus charge.

Ozzi To-Go System
1 Enter Marketplace and Pick Up an Ozzi Container: Enter the Marketplace and select your Ozzi containers. Tap your Etown ID, and our host will assist you by scanning the barcodes on the containers. Assistance is available for those who may need it.
2 Container Limitations: You are allowed up to two large green containers at any time. Your third item can be a cup or a bowl. A new large green container can only be checked out after returning at least one of the previously borrowed containers.
3 Fill Containers and Exit: After selecting your meal, please remember Ozzi Containers should be enjoyed outside the Marketplace, as they are not allowed in seating areas. Scan your Etown ID upon exiting.
4 Returning Containers: Finished with your meal? Please return the container to the designated receptacles in the Jay’s Nest by scanning the barcode on the bottom of the container. We ask that all containers be emptied and rinsed before being scanned and deposited.
