#HBCUsMatter

No company understands this more than Thompson Hospitality. HBCUs represent more than 95% of the higher education clients we serve. Rather than casting a wide net and pursuing all higher education institutions, we focus our efforts on ensuring HBCUs get the best dining experience possible.

A Leader in Collegiate Dining

Thompson Hospitality is nationally recognized for its expertise in collegiate dining

We design and operate vibrant dining ecosystems that align with institutional strategic priorities while elevating the student experience.

At the heart of our higher education portfolio is the LUXELIFE™ Dining Program — our signature, lifestyle-driven platform that blends culinary innovation, technology, wellness, cultural relevance, and high-impact programming. LUXELIFE transforms campus dining into an immersive experience that connects with today’s students and strengthens campus communities.
