USA. Global travel restaurateur HMSHost, part of Avolta, has opened a concession based on popular Jacksonville Beach eatery Angie’s Subs at Jacksonville International Airport. It is a joint venture with Florida-based Lee Wesley, an Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise.
The store serves a menu of favourites from the flagship Beach Boulevard shop, including its top-selling ‘Peruvian’, made with ham, Genoa salami, bacon, Italian sausage, provolone and Angie’s Subs’ Peruvian sauce.
The restaurant is also serving a variety of breakfast items, including an ‘A.M. twist’ on the Peruvian, made with added sausage crumbles and an egg patty on a plain bagel.
Travellers can also enjoy a selection of salads, sides including deviled eggs and chicken salad, desserts such as banana pudding, and the brand’s well-known sweet tea.
Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA) CEO Mark VanLoh said: “As JAX continues to grow, it provides us with an excellent opportunity to showcase beloved local brands in the terminal. Recent additions in the airport like Southern Grounds, and now Angie’s, highlight what makes Northeast Florida so unique.”
“As a local boy and businessman, it has been an honour to work with HMSHost and JAX in putting an Angie’s Subs in the airport,” said Ed Malin, owner of Angie’s Subs, which has been trading for more than 40 years. “They have been a pleasure to work with and I look forward to serving millions of hot Peruvian subs to travellers.”
HMSHost Vice President of Business Development Stephen Douglas commented: “Everything we do at HMSHost is about making travellers happier along their journey. We knew from the moment we first approached Angie’s Subs about opening at Jacksonville International Airport that the restaurant would become a sought-after destination for locals and visitors alike.
“We are grateful for our continued partnership with Jacksonville Aviation Authority and Lee Wesley, so that we can offer passengers more reasons to enjoy their time at JAX.”
Angie’s Subs is the fifth restaurant HMSHost has opened at Jacksonville Airport in the last two years as part of a ten-year contract that JAA awarded to HMSHost and Lee Wesley.
