Onward State alumnus Dave Cole created the petition to #SaveTheSkeller that's already garnered nearly 300 signatures.

"We want to assure you that as State College residents and Penn Staters we fully understand the historic importance of that location and memories made there across decades."

This is certainly not “Business...as usual” and Penn Staters are acutely aware of it, so much that they’ve started a movement to boycott Herlocher’s Foods, starting with the company’s reviews on Facebook and Amazon.
After the news broke, Penn Staters took to Twitter to share their disappointment in the decision. And they're not messing around.

Duke and Monica Gastinger have owned the two businesses since the 1980s, but the Rathskellar has been around since November 9, 1933, three days after the end of prohibition in the United States.
