Delaware North Cos. Travel Hospitality Services and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® have formed an exclusive partnership to expand the coffee and tea company’s presence in airports.
“The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® has a very strong brand presence and consumer following on the West Coast,” said Matt King, president of Delaware North Cos. Travel Hospitality Services. “We’re looking forward to expanding the brand’s exposure in airports nationwide and bringing The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® experience to new customers seeking a best in class premium coffee and tea experience.”
Delaware North already has two The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® stores at LA/Ontario International (ONT) and one at Phoenix Sky Harbor International (PHX). Under the new agreement, Delaware North will develop and operate new airport stores. Menu items include signature coffees, teas and Ice Blended® drinks.
“We are thrilled to be working with DNC as our exclusive strategy for growth in U.S. airports,” says Mel Elias, president of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®. “Their management team is a great fit with our company, and we are confident that their passion for our brand will translate to the travelers who enjoy our beverages at our airport stores.”
