Retail and F&B revamp for Fresno Yosemite International Airport

Passengers traveling through Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) in the US will begin to see a transition in food and beverage offerings this month as part of the airport’s new concessions programme.

SSP America was recently awarded a contract to operate a collection of post-security restaurants at Fresno Yosemite International Airport including Peet’s Coffee, Ike’s Love & Sandwiches, and Mad Duck Craft Brewing Co.

This portfolio of restaurant partners will be consistent with the airport’s focus on offering passengers a convenient, comfortable, and friendly travel experience as well as a focus on delivering a lineup of brands which celebrate the region’s culinary landscape.

SSP America will operate two units in an interim capacity while the three units are moving through a permanent development process. FAT is intent on providing interim brands offering quality products to reduce the impact during the construction phase of these permanent concepts.

“Partnering with SSP America on the airport’s new concession programme to host a variety of preferred food and beverage offerings is a significant step to meeting passenger needs as the Airport grows into its future concourse addition,” said FAT’s director of aviation, Henry Thompson.

“These concession concepts are envisioned to inspire a fun and lively atmosphere for a unique airport dining experience, and we are excited to introduce a new, locally inspired, concessions program in the existing terminal and new concourse.”
