AFC Wimbledon Football Club (“the Dons”) have awarded a multi-year contract at The Cherry Red Records Stadium to Aramark UK.

Under the multi-year deal, the integrated services provider will operate all food and beverage outlets in the stadium, including the hospitality level, kiosks, and the pub, along with managing independent vendors in the Fan Zone from 3rd July.

As part of the agreement, Aramark UK will invest in capital improvements at the stadium to enhance the food and beverage offerings to fans.

“Aramark emerged as the club’s preferred partner due to a combination of their impressive track record for service and commercial growth, appetite and hunger for constant improvement, as well as a range of ideas to enhance the experience for our fans,” says James Woodroof, AFC Wimbledon Managing Director. “The quality, creativity, and range of their food offering also impressed the panel.”
