Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky's CVG airport has some big news when it comes to their food and beverage options: they're introducing eight brand new restaurants, bars and quick-service spots.
Food and beverage brand operator SSP America will develop the concessions projects, with a plan to introduce more local influences as well as national brands, healthy options and a focus on faster grab-and-go dining. The establishments are slated to open the first quarter of 2021 through the first quarter of 2022.
“Currently one of the fastest-growing airports in the nation, CVG is experiencing positive growth as a direct result of the airport’s focused inward investment,” said Paul Loupakos, vice president of business development at SSP America, in a press release. “SSP America is delighted to be a part of this next chapter. We bring a diverse mix of local and national brands, as well as custom-designed restaurants that will give passengers a true taste of the region.”
According to a press release from CVG, airport visitors can look forward to the following changes:
Two establishments located in Concourse A and B will transform into Dunkin' Donuts.
Chick-fil-A located in Concourse B will move into a larger space (formerly Torn Basil) inside of the food court.
The Chick-fil-A currently located in Concourse B will transform into casual Mexican eatery Fuzzy's Taco Shop.
Concourse A's The Local will become Bourbon Kitchen, a "regionally-focused bourbon distillery tasting room featuring world-class Kentucky bourbons and a bourbon-inspired, localized menu."
Stella Artois/Urban Market located in Concourse A will become a bar and cafe offering local fare. "This offering will bring something for everyone — handcrafted drinks and Ohio brews combined with locally tailored street eats in an upbeat urban setting."
Hop & Cask in Concourse B will transform into Italian eatery Carmella's Modern Trattoria. "Carmella’s features a chef-driven menu and made from scratch dishes, including freshly prepared pizzas; overstuffed sandwiches; hand-pattied burgers; small plates of antipasti; and a wide range of soups, salads and pasta, as well as classic steaks and Chicken Marsala entrees."
Panda Express in Concourse A will become express service/gourmet market Camden Food Co., offering "fresh, modern, made-to-order as well as grab-and-go food options prepared with locally sourced ingredients."
“We look forward to partnering with SSP to bring these new food concepts to CVG,” said Candace McGraw, chief executive officer of CVG, in the same press release. “The new concessions throughout CVG, both in food and retail, continue to elevate the customer experience for our passengers.”
