In a move that further underpins London Stansted’s efforts to diversify revenue streams, food and beverage operator SSP has partnered with the airport to open its first Burger King airport drive-thru in the country.
While the airport already has two Burger King restaurants, the new drive-thru is located on the main road approaching the terminal, making it a convenient stop for all customers whether arriving or departing from the hub, as well as those living locally.
“We know how well-loved Burger King is and it’s one of our core franchise brands,” said Cathy Granby, Business Development Director of SSP UK & Ireland. “We’re delighted to be expanding this relationship and hope this will be the first drive-thru of many. I’ve no doubt it will be hugely successful, not only with the travelling public, but with customers who live and work near the airport too.”
London Stansted’s Retail Director, Stephen Martin, added: “Our departure lounge is already home to SSP’s award winning Burger King restaurant and this offers an excellent addition to the broad selection of food and beverage outlets available across the airport site. This retail operation creates different needs to the terminal and SSP have addressed those well.”
