A sign on the door of the University’s Dairy Store reading “Closed until further notice” spurred mass confusion Thursday afternoon, but it turns out the store will reopen Friday.
John Russin, AgCenter vice chancellor for research, said the closure was a “one-day blip.” The Dairy Store will be open and functioning normally Friday and will continue to do so.
The store closed Thursday after the sole employee in charge of producing ice cream left for a new job.
Gary Hay, director of the School of Animal Sciences, said he was worried that he may not be able to hire a new employee, thus prompting the store’s indefinite closure.
Russin said the AgCenter administration has developed a means of solving staffing problems and will begin the search for a new creamery manager.
