USA. Leading travel experience player Avolta has been awarded two ten-year contracts spanning retail and dining at Palm Beach International Airport, Florida.
The concessions span 1,281sq m of space and form part of an airport expansion and modernisation project.
Avolta retail brand Hudson will develop four speciality retail and travel convenience stores from this year. These, said the retailer, will bring a “hyper-local, curated shopping experience to the airport, showcasing Palm Beach’s timeless blend of luxury, leisure and local flavour”.
Building on the company’s F&B presence in the airport, Avolta company HMSHost will open multiple dining venues in Concourse B and the Main Terminal. From summer 2026, HMSHost will introduce a lineup of full-service, fast casual and quick-serve concepts with a focus on South Florida’s diverse food scene.
Avolta President and CEO, North America Steve Johnson said, “We are very happy to have been selected as the travel retail and F&B partner for Palm Beach International Airport, allowing us the opportunity to transform the travel experience.
“We have tailored and selected these new concepts to highlight the local culture and uniqueness of Palm Beach County while also offering locally sourced products and brands that make Palm Beach County and the surrounding region a sought-after destination year-round.”
“We’re proud to introduce new concessions that highlight the flavours and spirit of Palm Beach County,” said Director of Airports Laura Beebe. “We’re creating an experience that feels authentic to our community. These new options not only support local businesses, but also give our passengers more choice, more comfort and a true sense of Palm Beach County from the moment they arrive.”
Digital engagement will include in-store technology such as self-checkout, QR code order and pay, self-order kiosks, digital menu boards and virtual waitlists. Travellers can also access the benefits of the Club Avolta loyalty programme via offers, rewards and cross-promotions. ✈
