Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) has named 12 additional restaurants and retail shops planned for The New SLC Phase 3.

The operators represent a wide range of brands and concepts. F&B spaces will include Bambuza Vietnam Kitchen; Freddy’s Frozen Custard and Steakburgers; Maggiano’s Little Italy; Sunday’s Best; The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf; and Thirst. Retail, news and gift outlets will include Cotopaxi; iStore Express; Relay; Travel Right; The Canyon; and Weller Book Works. Cotopaxi, The Canyon, Sunday’s Best, Thirst, Weller Book Works are all local brands, SLC said.
“The new airport has received national accolades for our concession’s programme,” said Bill Wyatt, executive director, Salt Lake City Department of Airports. “These unique restaurants and shops are expected to garner five-star reviews as well.
Weller Books is among local brands represented
When selecting the concessions for Phase 3, the airport looked for a mix of local, regional and national brands, while taking into consideration pricing, hours of operation and service standards. Requirements for the six food and beverage locations included three full-service restaurants with alcohol service, a local/national fast-food or gourmet/specialty burger brand, a quick-serve restaurant and a dedicated full-service coffee concept. For the six specialty retail/news and gift locations, as well as the food and beverage options, street pricing is also a requirement, SLC stressed.
Cotopaxi pledges 1% of revenue for charitable giving
The New SLC Phase 3 encompasses a nine-gate extension of Concourse B to the east. The first five gates will open in autumn 2024, followed by four gates the following autumn. Many of the businesses selected for Phase 3 are ACDBE-certified (Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise).
