Come January, Legoland California will have an outside company overseeing all its food and beverage operations, and its 558 culinary workers will have a new employer.
The planned switchover to third-party vendor Aramark, known for its hospitality and food service operations at sports stadiums, colleges, attractions and health care venues, was first announced early this year by Legoland parent company Merlin Entertainments.
The U.K.-based company said at the time that Aramark would be handling food service at seven of its theme parks, including its two Legoland parks in California and Florida.
