Concessions International opens local concept at Atlanta International Airport

USA. Concessions International has opened LottaFrutta in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) Concourse B. The new store marks the Atlanta-based brand’s first airport location.

Concessions International is working with the airport to renovate the Concourse B food court area.

The company operates concessions throughout the airport and in eight airports across the U.S. and U.S. Virgin Islands.

“For many years, LottaFrutta has been one of Atlanta’s hidden – yet beloved – gems,” said Concessions International Chief Executive Donata Russell Major. “Not only does the restaurant bring a sense of place to our home airport, but we couldn’t be more excited to introduce one of the first Latina-owned concepts to the 95 million travelers at the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.”

LottaFrutta joins Fresh To Order, another Atlanta-based hot spot, in the renovated Concourse B terminal.

The gourmet café will serve signature fruit cups, salads, sandwiches, juices and smoothies in a Pan-Latin-inspired atmosphere. Other menu highlights include traditional Mexican Paletas (popsicles) and Ecuadorian Helado (ice cream).

“This is an incredible opportunity for our little brand,” said LottaFrutta’s Owner Myrna Perez-Cifuentes. “We are very much looking forward to extending our reach in the world’s busiest airport.”
