Delaware North celebrates the grand opening of new restaurants at Atlanta airport

Delaware North this summer officially unveiled its new food and beverage locations in a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Concourse D in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport – the world’s busiest airport.

“We are proud to offer travelers in Atlanta the highest quality and most exciting food options available,” said Kevin Kelly, president of Delaware North’s travel hospitality division. “With the latest additions to Concourse D, travelers can sample local favorites, successful national brands and new concepts.”

Delaware North introduced several new concepts to the concourse, including some with high-profile celebrity ties and a few local favorites. The highlights include:

The 40/40 Club is a concept created by hip hop mogul Jay Z and partner Juan Perez. The 1,500–square-foot space mirrors the design of the elite New York City 40/40 Club, including big-screen televisions throughout the restaurant and bar. The 40/40 Club Atlanta will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Grindhouse Killer Burgers is a local favorite known for its cook-to-order, freshly-ground hamburgers and veggie burgers.

Wolfgang Puck Fresh Express is a Wolfgang Puck concept featuring fresh ingredients for made-to-order sandwiches and salads.

Georgia Grown is a unique concept done in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture that features locally-sourced and seasonal specialties.

Harvest & Grounds is a Euro-American bakery and café serving freshly baked pastries, espresso drinks, sandwiches, salads, gourmet bite-to-eat plates, and packaged snacks.

The Food Network Kitchen brings the cooking network to life in the airport by offering hot and cold sandwiches, salads, and soups paired with local craft beers and wines.

“At the world’s busiest and most efficient airport, customer service is one of our top priorities,” said Hartsfield-Jackson General Manager Miguel Southwell. “Delaware North has been a terrific partner in implementing our joint vision of creating unique experiences for travelers and exceeding their expectations.”
