Other US Airport

It's soon going to be worth the trip to the Buffalo Niagara International Airport just for the food. With Anderson's Frozen Custard (also famous for “Beef on a Weck”) and the Anchor Bar (the “Home of the original Buffalo Chicken Wings”) coming in about a year, you just need to make a quick trip to the airport to enjoy some of Buffalo's most famous food.

Buffalo, NY (May/June 2008) -- Anderson's, Villa Pizza, Checkers, Freshens and even The Anchor Bar will now have a permanent place at the airport, so travelers can enjoy their famous wings. These restaurants are joining the menu at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport as part of a sweeping concessions makeover that will include a sit-down food court. The new food court will be situated just beyond the new security checkpoint in the East Concourse. These restaurants should be available for your enjoyment in about a year. Anderson's will find a home in what is now Jake's Bistro & News, near Gate 21. "We want to provide a great airport experience, but also make it a hometown experience," said Nicholas Biello, chief operating officer of Delaware North's Travel Hospitality Services division. The 10-year-old airport's security checkpoint is also getting a $7.2 million relocation and expansion as part of the changes.

Delaware North, which oversees food and retail services at more than 30 airports worldwide, conducted an in-airport survey to determine the best menu mix. Work is already under way to create the Blue Zone, a bar/restaurant that will target passengers using Gates 1-4. New dining options will also be available for those travelers and visitors not able or wanting to pass through the security checkpoint.

Contract extension results in new concepts for the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport's customers.

BUFFALO, N.Y.

Renovations and enhancements continued into 2008 with the opening of Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and Paradise Bakery & Café in January of 2008.

"One of our core philosophies at Travel Hospitality Services is to provide travelers with a wide array of choices so they can select the tastes and flavors they enjoy," said Travel Hospitality Services president Matt King.
