The first concession lease was approved by the Board in early June and the Airport Authority Board approved the final list this week.
A total of six concessions operators will open 19 restaurants and seven retail stores in the New T1. The first phase of 19 gates is slated to open in 2025 and the remaining 11 gates in early 2028. The completed terminal is planned to have 32,000 square feet for food and beverage space, and 14,000 square feet for convenience retail space.
"We were extremely impressed with all the proposals for restaurants and retail shops we received," said Kimberly Becker, CEO and president of the Airport Authority. "Proposers were required to meet specific concept, design and operational criteria that will help SAN offer our customers a wide selection of regional and national brands. We were pleased that all of the proposals were competitive and compelling."
Four of the six concessionaire operators selected are new to the Airport Authority and two of the operators, High Flying Foods and Paradies Lagardere@SAN, LLC, have existing leases for restaurant and retail space.
