Gina Marie Lindsey Executive Director Los Angeles World Airports |
US. Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) and CMS Hospitality marked the opening of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf – a Southern California landmark since 1963 – at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) this week.
This is the first of five The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf locations slated for opening at LAX in 2012 and is located in Terminal 6 after passenger security screening.
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf at LAX will offer a menu comprising Arabica coffee, whole leaf teas and fresh baked goods.
“The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is an essential part of the Los Angeles experience and now travellers will be able to enjoy it at LAX,” said LAWA Executive Director Gina Marie Lindsey. “Today’s opening continues the vision we share with CMS Hospitality in bringing popular, local flavours to the travelling public that will help put the “˜L-A’ back into “˜L-A-X.'”
“I am extremely pleased that The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf selected CMS Hospitality to be its first airport operator in its home city of Los Angeles,” said CMS Hospitality President and CEO Clarence A Daniels, Jr. “I know LAX passengers will be just as pleased to have The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf experience available at LAX.”
LAWA said that the main objective of new concessions is to increase passenger satisfaction by introducing a world-class concessions programme reflecting the best of local, regional and national concepts appropriate for LAX. Particular emphasis is placed on creating a “˜sense of place’ reflecting the flavour of the Los Angeles region, while encouraging local and Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation.
CMS Hospitality is a Los Angeles-based airport concession company, founded by Clarence Daniels, Jr in 1996 at LAX. Today CMS operates 23 food & beverage locations in six airports and has recently been selected to develop eight new F&B locations in LAX terminals 7 and 8, which will include two additional The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf locations.
