An official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the County Cup Delaware County Community College (DCCC), Pennock’s Bridge Campus, will be held on Monday, Feb. 22, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., according to a CCIU press release.

DCCC operates Pennock’s Bridge as a joint venture with the Chester County Intermediate Unit. The campus is within the Technical College High School in West Grove, which serves students from the Avon Grove, Kennett Consolidated, Octorara Area, Oxford Area, and Unionville-Chadds Ford school districts.

The first County Cup opened in December 2012 as a kiosk in the Government Services Center, where it quickly became a gathering spot for county employees. Since then, the County Cup has added sites at the Chester County Justice Center in West Chester and the Chester County Learning Center in Coatesville.

By ordering something as simple as a cup of coffee or a sandwich, customers participate in the students’ education. All County Cup locations provide students in CCIU programs with the opportunity to learn skills that could potentially increase their employability.

For aspiring chefs and food-service workers, the County Cup offers a uniquely hands-on learning experience. The County Cup DCCC, Pennock’s Bridge Campus, will feature a Grab and Go Café with items prepared by students from the three campuses of the Technical College High School. Student workers and volunteers from the CCIU Discover program, with guidance from CCIU job coaches, support the day-to-day operation of the café.

Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, attendees will have the opportunity to sample items that are sold at the County Cup, the release said.

The County Cup DCCC, Pennock’s Bridge, will be open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and will serve breakfast sandwiches, bagels, muffins, soups, sandwiches, salads, desserts, Wawa coffee and cold beverages.
