HMSHost Wins New 12-Year Restaurant Contract at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport

HMSHost to bring more local flavors and national favorites to PHX travelers

PHOENIX — Exciting new dining options are headed to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport over the next two years as part of the airport’s Terminal 3 Modernization Program. Global restaurateur HMSHost, in partnership with KIND Hospitality, Inc. and Emerging Domestic Market Ventures, LLC, was awarded a 12-year contract valued at approximately $264 million to bring an outstanding line-up of new food and beverage locations to the airport’s modernized Terminal 3. The Phoenix City Council approved the contract on February 21.

“HMSHost is honored to be a part of the airport’s modernization, bringing Phoenix travelers a unique mix of on-trend local and national dining favorites,” said HMSHost Vice President of Business Development Stephen Douglas. “Along with our local restaurant partners, we thank Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and the City of Phoenix for our continued partnership to enhance the airport experience with great food and drink options for many years to come.”

Phoenix area favorites Joyride Taco House and Postino will bring excitement to the new Terminal 3 South Concourse. Joyride Taco House brings its tasty tacos, delicious cocktails, fun vibe and dynamic presence to travelers. Postino adds its unique wines, colorful bruschetta boards, and its warm, edgy culture to the terminal. Each location will offer relaxing full-service dining and bar areas, as well as separate quick-service to-go counters for travelers to easily grab and enjoy meals on the fly.

HMSHost will also debut the PHX Food Hall in the Terminal 3 South Concourse. This new open and inviting space will include Panera Bread, local food truck favorite Mustache Pretzels, as well as Shake Shack’s critically acclaimed, modern day “roadside” burger stand.

Greeting travelers in the new Terminal 3, expected to open in late 2018, is The Parlor pizzeria, a local restaurant voted #1 by Arizonans for their artisan pizza and handmade pastas. Joining The Parlor is a new Starbucks® store that not only offers travelers their favorite coffee, but is designed with inspiration from the Phoenix skyline and surrounding mountains.

HMSHost will also operate two additional new Starbucks® store locations – one in the Terminal 3 North Concourse and the other in the South Concourse. The new food and beverage locations are expected to begin to open later this year and into early 2020, aligning with the airport’s modernization project. Additional restaurant details will be available in the coming months.

HMSHost has operated restaurants at Phoenix Sky Harbor for many years, delivering innovative and popular local dining options to travelers such as Barrio Café, Chelsea’s Kitchen, and Cowboy Ciao, among others. A list of existing HMSHost-operated locations at Phoenix Sky Harbor is available on the HMSHost location finder map.
