Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) has announced its largest concessions overhaul in more than a decade. The airport, which will release a formal RFP on May 26, plans to open 47 new concepts across 80,000 square feet of its terminals by 2029, with a focus on bringing more coffee concepts, quick-serve eateries, convenience stores with food and shop-in-shop retail, as well as passenger dwell spaces to the facility. Interested businesses must attend a June 8 pre-proposal meeting to be considered. The upcoming RFP adds to MSP’s already ongoing concessions upgrades in which Hometown Market, Caribou Coffee, Subway, McDonald’s, illycaffè, B.A.R. Flights, Caribou Coffee and Lucky’s 13 will open through 2027.
“We’ve developed an RFP based on a tremendous amount of research about what travelers and customers want while also leaning into emerging trends both in and outside the industry,” said Isabella Rhawie, MAC vice president and commercial revenue officer. “We’re looking to curate a strong mix of national and Minnesota-based businesses to offer more choices, brands and experiences for MSP passengers.”
