USA. John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Columbus, Ohio, is transforming its food & beverage offer with several new options including an HMSHost-run Starbucks unit located in baggage claim.
This marks the airport’s fifth Starbucks, all managed by HMSHost. The travel restaurateur is also set to expand its Starbucks unit in Concourse C in the second quarter of the year.

Other Concourse C openings later this year include a Donatos full-service restaurant and bar, which replaces Johnny Rockets, and a PGA Tour Grill replacing Buckeye Hall of Fame Café.
During the construction period, a food & beverage kiosk will be available along with a Samuel Adams-themed bar and restaurant American Craft Tavern, which opened in July 2017.
Columbus Regional Airport Authority Interim President & CEO Tory Richardson stated: “As our passenger numbers continue to grow, we remain committed to providing individuals convenient access to food and retail so they can have the most enjoyable experience possible.”
