Concessions Refresh Program

The Authority issued a Concessions Request For Information (RFI) solicitation on April 16, 2018 with a proposal due date of July 20, 2018. At the January 18, 2019 IAA Board meeting, five new contracts for specialty retail and services vendors were approved by the board. At the March 15, 2019 IAA Board meeting, six new contracts for food, beverage, and Indy-focused dining experiences were approved by the board.

The Concessions Refresh Program will include a phased three-year construction plan ensuring airport passengers and guests have access to the restaurants, shops, products and services they need while traveling.

Representing Indy and Indiana

The Concession Refresh program is intended to attract “sense of place” retailers and food-and-beverage providers to the airport, as a means of showcasing local foods, beverages and brands that directly represent the Indianapolis culture and community. The IAA seeks to provide an immersion experience for travelers, so that when they land at IND, they are surrounded by the sights, sounds and tastes that comprise the Hoosier experience.

More Retailers, Restaurants to Be Announced in 2019

The next round of Concessions Refresh contract approvals is anticipated at an IAA board meeting in early 2019, in which new food and beverage vendors and additional retailers will be announced. New airport offerings will reflect a sense of place that tells the story of the Indianapolis/Indiana community – either by representing a local brand and iconic landmark or selling locally sourced products.
