Café Focused on Freshness Opens First of Three New Units
PITTSBURGH, May 25, 2010 – A wide selection of freshly prepared, organic, wholesome meals has been added to the menu at the AIRMALL® at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT). BAA Pittsburgh, developer of the AIRMALL® at PIT, is pleased to welcome Nature’s Kitchen Fresh Café to the award-winning airport concessions program. Nature’s Kitchen Fresh Café has opened a landside unit, the first of three units that are becoming part of the concessions program.
“Nature’s Kitchen is committed to preparing and serving fresh food…the way nature meant it to be. Their dedication to freshness and to using natural ingredients closely correlates with what travelers are seeking when they are on the go,” said Jay Kruisselbrink, vice president of BAA Pittsburgh. “We are certain that Nature’s Kitchen Fresh Café will only enhance our concessions program, one that is founded on the concept of ‘Regular Mall Prices…Guaranteed.’ No markups. Just a quality meal at a fair price.”
Nature’s Kitchen Fresh Café features a full menu for airport visitors and passengers – wholesome dishes, freshly-made juices, salads, handcrafted sandwiches, wraps, soups, entrees and desserts. The concept relies on only the very best local produce whenever possible and incorporates organic ingredients into its dishes for unmistakable quality and taste.
The AIRMALL® at PIT remains the gold standard for airport retail concessions across the nation. Founded in 1992, the AIRMALL® introduced the concept of “Regular Mall Prices…Guaranteed,” the original street pricing model. Passengers pay no more for goods and services at the AIRMALL® than they would pay at a comparable local store or restaurant.
Since its inception, the AIRMALL® at PIT has won a host of accolades. Most recently, it took first place among U.S. airports in the food, shops and amenities category in Condé Nast Traveler’s 12th Annual Business Travel Awards (published in October 2009). Moreover, the AIRMALL® at PIT continues to post the highest per-passenger spend of any airport in North America.
Nature’s Kitchen Fresh Café at the AIRMALL® at PIT will be open 365 days a year. The landside location (2,752 sq. ft.) is situated adjacent to the main security checkpoint. The two remaining units are expected to open airside in the coming months.
