History of The Bistro

The Bistro is in the UC 1^st floor at Willamette University. It was started by Eric Fishman and John Donovan in 1985. The reason why was they thought there was nowhere to enjoy talking with friends in the evening. They gave their idea and started to make their project. In the fall of 1986, the Bistro opened. The shop ran only student staff. Ten years later, it was remodeled and bigger than before, and students couldn’t almost imagine a Willamette without the Bistro. Today, many students always hang out in the Bistro. Eric and John keep giving them a place of rest and relaxation.
