SPAIN. Areas has strengthened its footprint at Ibiza Airport with the reopening of its proprietary StrEAT concept, following a full refurbishment of the location.
The 585sq m unit, accommodating 153 guests, marks the latest evolution of the street-food-inspired format, launched in Ibiza in 2017.
The concept blends a contemporary design with a multi-brand food offer, bringing together Aloha, Barra de Pintxos, Tim Hortons and Rossopomodoro.
StrEAT has developed into one of Areas’ most recognisable proprietary brands, with a growing international presence and a scalable airport model.
The concept is positioned around the fusion of local culinary identity and global street food trends, aimed at enhancing dwell time through a more dynamic and social dining experience, according to Areas.
The Ibiza opening takes the StrEAT estate to seven locations worldwide.
In Spain, the format operates across multiple sites at Madrid-Barajas Airport and other airports, while in the USA it is present at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta (Terminal E) and Newark Liberty (Terminal B) international airports.
Areas said further expansion is planned with two additional openings at Barcelona–El Prat Airport.
Areas Iberia Marketing & Expansion Director Mireya Muñoz said, “StrEAT was born in Ibiza in 2017 as a different way of understanding airport dining.
“Today, it is a concept with international reach that maintains its essence: connecting the local with the global and offering travelers an authentic, dynamic and high-quality gastronomic experience.
“With this opening, we return to its origins to continue driving its evolution.”
