USA. MarketPlace Development has partnered with Master ConcessionAir and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority to open a P.F. Chang’s restaurant at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
The Concourse E eatery joins six existing P.F. Chang’s locations in the Washington metropolitan area. Other US airport locations include ATL Hartsfield Jackson, Detroit, Los Angeles and Tampa.
The 5,800sq ft restaurant offers elevated Asian cuisine to on-the-go customers at the Washington hub. The menu includes popular P.F. Chang’s made-from-scratch dishes such as Chang’s Spicy Chicken, Mongolian Beef and Chang’s Lettuce Wraps.
MarketPlace Development President Michael DiCosola said: “The opening of P.F. Chang’s is another exciting milestone at Reagan National Airport. It is a fantastic addition to the offerings in the new concourse that opened in 2021.”
Other local and national dining favourites in Concourse E include Elevation Burger, Mezeh Mediterranean Grill, Peet’s Coffee, Timber Pizza Co., and Wolfgang Puck Bar & Bites. The terminal is also home to an American Airlines Admirals Club and several leading retail and newsstand operators.
Founded in 1993 by Philip Chiang and Paul Fleming, P.F. Chang’s is regarded as the first internationally recognised multi-unit Asian culinary brand to honour and celebrate the 2,000-year-old tradition of wok cooking as the centre of the guest experience.
Worldwide, P.F. Chang’s has more than 300 restaurants in 22 countries. |
Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer Chryssa Westerlund commented: “The much-anticipated addition of P.F. Chang’s brings our passengers an appetising option that completes the arrival of new dining choices envisioned for Concourse E.
“Working in partnership with Marketplace Development, we are proud to further evolve the Reagan National dining experience through P.F. Chang’s beautiful design and elevated cuisine.”
P.F. Chang’s President Global Brands and Retail Kristen Briede added: “P.F. Chang’s is focused on delivering best-in-class experiential dining, no matter where guests want to meet us; in our traditional bistros, in our P.F. Chang’s To Go locations, and also in airports.
“Being on-the-go doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavour or elevated service. Our new location in Concourse E affords travellers the opportunity to enjoy the iconic taste and upscale ambiance of P.F. Chang’s, whether they’re coming or going at Reagan National Airport.”
ConcessionAir Chief Executive Officer Peter Amaro said: “It was our vision to create a dynamic space that allows guests to enjoy the amazing P.F. Chang’s food and drink in a variety of ways, be that on the go via our takeaway To-Go offers, at a bar watching a variety of TV’s offerings, the lounge seating area or in a traditional restaurant environment.
“Master ConcessionAir is proud to partner with P.F. Chang’s, a well-recognised iconic brand, which will not only meet, but exceed the travellers’ expectations at Reagan National Airport.”
