SSP America has signed a contract with Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) to operate a collection of post-security restaurants. The updates to FAT’s food and beverage (F&B) offering are part of the airport’s new concessions programme.

The new restaurants will include Peet’s Coffee and Ike’s Love & Sandwiches, expected to operate in their newly constructed locations in summer 2024, as well as Mad Duck Craft Brewing Co., expected to operate in its remodelled location in autumn 2025.

“These concession concepts are envisioned to inspire a fun and lively atmosphere for a unique airport dining experience,” said Henry Thompson, Director of Aviation, Fresno Yosemite International Airport, “and we are excited to introduce a new, locally inspired concessions programme in the existing terminal and new concourse.”

The F&B additions will be consistent with the airport’s focus on offering passengers convenient, comfortable and friendly travel experiences, with an additional focus on celebrating the region’s culinary landscape.

“The central San Joaquin Valley is home to some of the most beautiful landscape in North America, and FAT is a gateway to the natural beauty so many travellers want to experience,” added Paul Loupakos, Senior Vice President of Development and Airport Retention, Fresno Yosemite International Airport. “Our SSP America team is going to bring cool, authentic restaurants to FAT that reflect the culinary landscape.”
