SINGAPORE. Emirates Leisure Retail (ELR) is to make its debut as a food & beverage concessionaire at Singapore Changi Airport after capturing the rights to run three outlets in Terminal 3. This confirms news we reported first earlier this month.
ELR will operate restaurant brands Pret A Manger, Wolfgang Puck and Hudsons Coffee in T3. The company said the offer was developed “exclusively for Changi Airport”.
ELR Group CEO Andrew Day said: “We are absolutely delighted to announce our first partnership with Changi Airport Group and we are confident that this win is just the beginning of a long and successful relationship. CAG and ELR share the same passion to create exceptional guest experiences, re-defining the standards by which airport hospitality should be judged.”
Changi Airport Group Senior Vice President of Airside Concessions Division Teo Chew Hoon said: “Changi is excited to bring ELR’s innovative, first-in-Singapore concepts to life at Terminal 3. Well-loved by many around the world, the three new outlets will offer our passengers and foodies alike even more options to choose from, including dishes developed exclusively for Changi Airport by Michelin star chef Wolfgang Puck. We look forward to partnering ELR to continue delivering tasteful travel experiences for all who pass through Changi.”
The target opening dates for the new concessions are end of Q1 2017 for The Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck and end of Q2 2017 for both Pret A Manger and Hudsons Coffee.
ELR recently received industry recognition when Hudsons Coffee won Best Airport Coffee Shop at the Airport Food and Beverage (FAB) Awards 2016 and Brisbane River Grill won Best Airport Bar of the Year at the Drinks International Travel Retail Awards 2016.
