USA. The Connecticut Airport Authority (CAA) today announced the launch of a new concession programme at Bradley International Airport aimed at highlighting local specialty retailers and small businesses.
“We’re very thrilled to be launching this programme,” said Connecticut Airport Authority Executive Director Kevin A. Dillon. “As we continue to increase the sense of place at Bradley, we’re excited to open the doors to local vendors and small businesses and to introduce our passengers to everything our region has to offer.”
To roll out the programme, the food court in Terminal A of the airport is being redesigned to incorporate a row of dedicated kiosk units aimed at creating a walk-through market place that will showcase the region’s diverse local and small businesses.
Through the programme, vendors and small businesses will have the opportunity to have a presence in the terminal by operating their businesses from one of the dedicated kiosks on a fixed-term, rotating basis.
With a pre-set venue and short-term leases, the programme has been designed to make the Bradley International Airport passenger market more easily accessible for local businesses.
It is anticipated that in 2019 there will be four kiosk units available for occupancy, followed by up to three additional units in 2020. The first kiosks will be introduced in the fall of 2019.
Small businesses which sell specialty retail items or fully-prepared, pre-packaged food are invited to apply.
An informational session will be held on Wednesday, 24 July.
