Travelers visiting Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) can now enjoy coffee, tea, espresso and other specialty beverages at the new Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. The airport outpost, operated by Bambuza Hospitality Group, is Utah’s first Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, offering high-quality, small-batch roasted coffee from the brand’s Camarillo, California facility.
“As we continue to expand our non-traditional footprint, airports represent a key growth channel for The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf,” said Peter Vavra, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s director of franchise development. “With our rich heritage and globally recognized offerings, we’re seeing tremendous opportunity to introduce travelers to the premium coffee and tea experience that has set us apart for more than 60 years. Operator groups like Bambuza, who bring operational excellence and a deep understanding of airport environments, exemplify the caliber of franchisees we’re looking to grow with.”
“We are proud to partner with The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, a brand with an established legacy of delivering exceptional coffee and tea experiences,” added Katherine Lam, president and CEO of Bambuza Hospitality Group. “As experienced airport operators, we seek to align with brands that value exceptional service and a commitment to people, and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf embodies that. Bringing the brand to Salt Lake City International Airport has been an exciting step for our team, and we’re thrilled to introduce travelers to a concept that has cultivated a devoted following around the world.”
