USA. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has unveiled a vast commercial area as part of the expanded Concourse T, with retail and dining venues operated by Paradies Lagardère.
Described as the largest expansion at the airport in a decade, the new wing features a vast circular atrium that houses additional commercial space.
The new concessions include retail and dining concept Southern National Market and wine bar and restaurant Vino Volo, which open on 22 and 23 December, respectively. More will follow soon.
Founded by the duo behind One Flew South in Concourse E, chef Duane Nutter and restaurateur Reggie Washington, Southern National Market will offer a variety of globally inspired sandwiches, wraps and salads. It also has grab-and-go options including its signature pimento cheese and a local charcuterie selection.
Inside Southern National Market, modern-custom pizzeria concept Pizza Boxx serves passengers innovative pizza flavours such as four cheese, smoked chicken and beef bulgogi. The menu also features sides including wings, meatballs and soups.
Southern National Market’s retail side will offer its signature food items including bourbon honey, peach butter or Chef D’s house mustard. Specialties from the South are available at the store, with products from local vendors including gourmet pecans, chocolates and pralines sourced from the surrounding areas, as well as Georgia-themed souvenirs.
Paradies Lagardère-owned wine bar and retail chain Vino Volo is another dining venue to open at the expanded terminal. The Atlanta location will offer an extensive array of wines from Chateau Elan, Three Sisters and Georgia Winery, as well as craft beers and ciders from New Realm Brewing, Urban Tree Cidery and Monday Night Brewing.
The food menu also highlights culinary collaborations with local chefs, with seasonal selections created by Southern National’s chef Duane Nutter.
The restaurant serves breakfast to dinner all day with entrees that can be paired with a beverage recommended by the restaurant staff.
Vino Volo, which means ‘wine flight’ in English, offers a wine menu that features carefully curated wine flights of three pours linked by a common thread from rosé to red. These flights allow travellers to sample new flavours without committing to a full pour.
Other dining options opening in early 2024 in the new Concourse T expansion include Starbucks, offering a familiar coffee concept, as well as Tropical Smoothie featuring a selection of healthy smoothies and flatbreads.
