HMSHost secures contract extension at Dayton International Airport

USA. Global travel food & beverage specialist HMSHost has secured a contract extension at Dayton International Airport to 2020.

As part of the agreement the concessionaire will refurbish existing units and open a second Starbucks store and a new Chick-fil-A location, all to be completed by Autumn this year.

The new Starbucks will feature in Concourse B while Chick-fil-A will open in the airport’s Main Concourse, serving chicken sandwiches, salads, nuggets with dipping sauces, and milkshakes.

HMSHost will also refurbish the Main Concourse Max & Erma’s, serving trademark burgers and freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies. In Concourse B, HMSHost will continue to operate Quiznos and MVP Sports Bar. Concourse C will retain the 12th Fairway restaurant, as well as an existing Starbucks.

“We are very excited about continuing our relationship with HMSHost and are confident that the new food & beverage options will enhance the traveller’s experience at the airport,” said Dayton International Airport Director of Aviation Terrence Slaybaugh.

“These new restaurants, combined with beloved brands like Max & Erma’s, are why our long-term partnership with HMSHost will continue to be a reinforcing factor to the Dayton Airport motto of “˜Easy to and through’.”

“HMSHost is very pleased about extending our valued partnership with Dayton International Airport, and to be improving dining options for Dayton’s travellers,” added HMSHost Senior Director of Business Development Bryan Loden.

“Dayton Airport is known for its many great attributes, from being the birthplace of aviation to its extremely convenient and accessible location. With that in mind, HMSHost is extremely excited about adding two nationally award winning and revered brands to Dayton’s dining programme.”
