USA. SSP America has been awarded a contract with Colorado Springs Airport to develop a portfolio of nine restaurant concepts at the state’s second-busiest gateway’s new food hall.
The line-up will include local eateries which celebrate Colorado’s unique culinary landscape, plus an array of boutique or craft beer concept, complemented by national brands with broad appeal.
The F&B development will play an important part in the airport’s concourse modernisation project which began last month, focusing on upgrading the 29 year-old terminal to accommodate more passengers and improve their experience.
x“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with SSP America and look forward to their plans for enhancing our travellers’ dining experience,” said Colorado Springs Airport Director of Aviation Greg Phillips.
“The sense of place that will be created through SSP America’s local portfolio will not only support our community’s businesses but will give visitors a taste of what to expect in Colorado Springs.”
SSP America Vice President Business Development Kyle Phillips added, “At SSP America we’re all about bringing cool, authentic restaurants to airports that reflect a taste of place. Our Colorado Springs Airport team, led by our Director of Operations Susan O’Neil, deserves a lot of kudos for working with such passion and dedication.” ✈
