Multi-year redevelopment brings 47 food, retail openings

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority announced Wednesday that 11 new concessions will begin development at Dulles International and Reagan National airports in the coming year. The food, beverage and retail brands represent the latest awards in the multi-year program to redevelop more than 80 concessions at the airports. Since 2023, concessions redevelopment has delivered 47 new or renovated locations for airport customers.

“The Airports Authority continues its focus on brands that represent the regional D.C. experience,” said Jaimini Erskine, Airports Authority vice president for marketing and concessions. “These openings enhance the passenger experience and create economic opportunities for businesses around the area to deliver high-quality, local and unique offerings.”
