Located right under Molly Reid Hall, Perrotti\u2019s Pizza<\/a> and Fruitealicious offer convenient and cheaper choices for students looking to enjoy off-campus food.<\/p>\n \u201cTCU students get 10% off the entire menu, with the exception of any bundled specials,\u201d said Austin Perrotti, a TCU alum and the CEO of Perrotti\u2019s Pizza. \u201cWe also have bundle deals specifically for students.\u201d<\/p>\n He said the discounts are meant to give back and to connect with the community.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a firm believer that without your community, you have nothing,\u201d Perrotti said. \u201cFor me, it was important to reestablish that connection to it. I just love seeing people, meeting people and talking with individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n Right next door, Fruitealicious<\/a> offers a 10% student discount, and one street over, Tropical Smoothie\u2019s West Berry Street location<\/a> offers 50% off any smoothie to TCU students every Tuesday. \u00a0<\/p>\n Beyond bites, students are also offered discounted services. <\/p>\n Onyx Nail Bar<\/a> in University Park Village, Milk and Honey in The Shops at Clearfork<\/a> and Cache Nail Lounge<\/a> in Trinity Commons are among the many nail salons offering a discounted rate to TCU students. <\/p>\n According to Brian Nguyen, a nail tech at Onyx, about 50-60% of their customers are TCU students.<\/p>\n Billy Bob\u2019s Texas<\/a> hosts a college night every Thursday, offering free admission for college students with a valid student ID from 10:30 p.m. to midnight. <\/p>\n Rotating events such as the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo<\/a> and the Fort Worth Botanic Garden\u2019s \u201cChristmas in the Garden\u201d<\/a> offer promotions and discounted rates to students as well. <\/p>\n \u201cThe 76109 zip code is integral to our business,\u201d Perrotti said. \u201cWe can\u2019t do this without you guys. So, we\u2019re just really thankful for you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To strengthen ties between TCU and the Fort Worth community, many local Fort Worth businesses offer discounted services…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":162093,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":{"0":"post-162092","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-fort-worth","9":"tag-fort-worth-headlines","10":"tag-fort-worth-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162092\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-09-at-7.16.17-PM-466x600.png\")
