The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority Board has approved Phase 2 concession packages as part of the Orlando International Airport (MCO) Concession Master Plan. The approval advances a multi-year, three-phase program to reimagine restaurant and retail offerings throughout Terminals A and B.
Contracts for five packages encompassing 14 concepts were awarded this week. Collectively, the three phases of the Concession Master Plan will redevelop more than 200,000 square feet of guest space, where travelers can shop, sip and dine in modern, welcoming and memorable locations.
“This three-phased project goes to the heart of our mission at Orlando International Airport to create an experience that is welcoming, seamless and distinctly representative of Central Florida, said Lance Lyttle, CEO of the GOAA. “Through this concession program, we are bringing unique flavors and innovative concepts directly to our guests, while continuing to offer the national brands they know and enjoy.”
For the second phase, a group led by SSP America won its bid for a five-location package. Concepts include Piggza, Starbucks, Bricks & Bowls, Sambazon, Naya Middle Eastern, Chick-fil-A and Einstein Brothers Bagels. Other partners in the group are Perez of Florida, Inc., P&P Hospitality LLC, Legacy Concessions LLC, Treehouse Hospitality Group LLC and Global Concessions Group LLC.
Central Florida Hospitality Partners, led by HMSHost, won the right to operate four restaurant locations. Concepts include Bahia Bowl, Chick-fil-A, Shake Shack and Panda Express. Other group partners include I Believe Corp. Enterprises, Pita Hut Enterprises LLC and The W Group Consulting Firm LLC.
The last three packages contain a single location each. TGlobal/Lago LLC won two of the three and will operate Just Love Coffee and Crisp & Green. The group includes Jared Benton, Michael Moore, Deshaun Scott and Najla Compass-Scott. Finally, InMotion Entertainment Group will operate an InMotion location.
Phase 1, announced in December 2024, includes more than 40 new restaurants and retail locations, featuring hometown establishments, such as Otto’s High Dive, Stasio’s, Smoke & Donuts, Kelly’s Ice Cream, and 4Rivers. Planning and construction preparations are currently underway, with phased openings scheduled for summer 2026 through late 2028.
