In a press release, Michigan Union director Amy White said: "Our final choices offer Union guests a mix of options that meet everyday needs with exciting selections that will make them want to return regularly. Students had significant involvement in the selection process and provided invaluable insight into student needs, concerns and preferences."

With an anticipated opening date sometime in January, the Michigan Union has been undergoing an $85.2 million renovation since May 2018.  During the renovations, food and retail services have not been in use as the entire building has been closed.  

The Michigan Union recently celebrated its 100th birthday on Oct. 16.
