HMSHost International selected to open six F&B outlets at Bergen Airport

NORWAY. HMSHost International has won a contract to open six food & beverage points of sale at Bergen Airport.

The Autogrill company’s joint venture with Umoe Restaurants Group will be responsible for operating the outlets.

Autogrill said it expected the contract to generate total revenues in excess of €70 million over the five-year concession.

It is HMSHost’s second contract win in Norway, with the company selected to open ten points of sale at Oslo Airport in November.

The offering at Bergen Airport will feature a range of both international and local food brands, including Bølgen & Moi Food Garage, created by chef Trond Moi and sommelier Toralf Bølgen, and Fiskeriet, a label known for its fish and original preparation and serving techniques. The six outlets are scheduled to open in late summer 2017.

“This important agreement, following entry to Oslo Airport last November, enables us to strengthen our presence in the country and continue to expand in the Scandinavian market, which is looking very lively,” said HMSHost International CEO Walter Seib.

“These positive developments also reflect the success of the food service formats we’ve developed with our local partner Umoe Restaurants and which will make the airport an exclusive hub in terms of its food & beverage offering.”
