Airport releases list of vendors for Phase 2 of redevelopment
Salt Lake City International Airport has unveiled the restaurants and retails shops that will open in the fall of 2023 in Phase 2 of The New SLC Redevelopment Program.
In a release, the airport said that when selecting Phase 2 concessions, the it wanted a mix of local, regional and national choices, while taking into consideration pricing, hours of operation and service standards. When the first phase of The New SLC opened, all concessions began offering street pricing, which is a requirement for Phase 2 as well.
“Passengers have given the Phase 1 concessions four-star reviews,” said Bill Wyatt, executive director of the Salt Lake City Department of Airports. “We expect Phase 2 selections to be just as popular.”
The food and beverage vendors expect to open in Phase 2 are local coffee companies Millcreek Coffee Roasters and Hugo Coffee; full-service restaurants Red Rock Brewery and P.F. Chang’s; local fast-food restaurants Blue Iguana, Rockwell’s Ice Cream and Vessel Kitchen; national fast-food shops Auntie Anne’s, Burger King, Jimmy John’s and Wow Bao; and specialty shop Protein Bar and Kitchen.
Retailers that will open in the new addition are The Atrium, which is a specialty retail concept that features brands such as Build-A-Bear, Brookstone, Herschel Supply Co. and Sunglass Hut; Hudson Nonstop and a Hudson travel convenience store; Minute Suites, which is a unique concept where passengers can rent out a private room for a quiet escape; SLC Public Market, a convenience and local specialty store with a theme based on Salt Lake’s Farmer’s Market; and a Utah Jazz Pro Shop.
Phase 2 has been designed for 19 retail and restaurant spaces totaling 23,873 square feet.
The New SLC Phase 2 encompasses a 22-gate extension of Concourse A to the east. The first four Delta Air Lines’ gates will open in spring of 2023, followed by 18 Delta gates in the fall of 2023.
