Ottawa International Airport (YOW) will launch a request for proposals for two food and beverage concepts located in the airport’s combined domestic/international hold room.
YOW is seeking a beverage-led concept with a secondary takeaway/quick serve food component to occupy a 700-square-foot location currently occupied by Booster Juice, according to Coleman Swartz, director of commercial development. The second location up for bid is a 1,300-square-foot bar/restaurant currently occupied by Vino Volo. YOW is seeking a bar-centric concept with full-serve food, although Swartz notes that, due to infrastructure constraints, the kitchen cannot be fully vented. The second location is near where the majority of non-U.S. international flights depart.
The term for each of the locations is seven years, with a four-year extension option if performance KPIs are achieved. Proposals can include both locations or can target a single location only. Visit the YOW website for more details.
