A year after Rise Up Coffee Roasters postponed the opening of a kiosk in the CALT atrium, the college is looking for a different vendor to take its place. Peter Kaiser, AACC’s
events and food services manager, said the Anne Arundel County Health Department would require any space the coffee-and-sandwich restaurant would occupy to have a grease trap, which the kiosk does not have. The space also is not
