The idea is that the 312-space parking garage is connected with the public space in Perry Square While also connecting all of the campus redevelopment that has taken place over the last six to seven years
Whiting said new additions will include spaces for new businesses, Dave's Diner that will open in a couple of months, and Country Fair that is set to open in less than a month.
He said Country Fair will fulfill the need for a grocery and address a food desert for fresh produce and meat.

'We're working on getting Serafini's open on State Street in the Cashier's House which we expect to be the same time frame like mid to late May and then along Peach towards the entrance to our parking garage and adjacent to Dave's Diner we're looking at an Irish bar concept and potentially one other business to enter that row,' Whiting said.
Whiting said the other potential business will be a great amenity to Gannon students.

Ryanair Profit More Than Doubles; Sees Strong Summer Travel Flow
Ryanair Holdings Plc net income in the first quarter more than doubled, and the budget airline said it will recover most of the fare drop suffered last year to achieve 'reasonable' profit growth in fiscal 2026. The Irish airline reported profit after tax of €820 million ($953 million) in the three months, up from €360 million the previous year and beating Bloomberg analysts' estimates of €687.6 million.
