Buffalo, NY & Boston,
MA – August 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / Delaware
North, one of the largest privately held hospitality companies in the
world, has been awarded a multiyear contract to operate food, beverage
and retail services at Logan
International Airport through a partnership with developer MarketPlace
Development. The contract will bring a mix of 12 new restaurant and
retail offerings to the airport, beginning in late 2018.
The
new food and beverage outlets will have a distinctively Boston feel, with
several restaurants created by acclaimed Boston chef Michael Schlow being
adapted for the airport, as well as two outposts of B. Good Burger, a popular
Boston-based farm-to-table concept. Additionally, two of the city’s professional
sports franchises – the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics – will each have
a dedicated, contemporary sports bar for fans to gather as they travel
to and from Boston. New Balance, another Boston-born company, will also
have a presence with a new retail outlet scheduled to open in 2019.
No
stranger to Boston, Delaware North is the owner and operator of TD
Garden, which is home to the Bruins and Celtics and hosts more than
3.5 million visitors and 200 live events each year. Delaware North also
operates seasonal programming at Boston’s City Hall Plaza and is in the
process of developing a 1.5 million-square-foot, mixed-use project adjacent
to the Garden, called The
Hub on Causeway.
“Delaware
North is a global company, but Boston is a very, very important place for
us, and our significant commitment to the community and economic development
here continues to strengthen with our investments in TD Garden and The
Hub on Causeway,” said Charlie Jacobs, CEO of Delaware North’s Boston Holdings.
“So we are thrilled to extend our local focus to Logan Airport, where we
can leverage our Boston synergies for travelers from and to our great city.”
