London Gatwick has launched its largest ever food and beverage tender, inviting bids for five South Terminal units and one North Terminal pub unit, spanning more than 3,800m2.
Gatwick, the UK’s second-largest airport, said it is seeking new hospitality partners as part of the next phase of its commercial offering as the airport eyes future growth opportunities. The airport received the green light for its privately funded Northern Runway project in August.
The South Terminal’s opportunities for quick service and fast casual concepts include units measuring 309m2, 320m2, 547m2 and 790m2, alongside a dedicated pub space of 647m2. In the North Terminal, operators are invited to bid for a landmark pub unit spanning 1,084m2.
Stephane Geffroy, head of retail at London Gatwick, said, “There has never been a more exciting time to partner with London Gatwick. As we look ahead to future growth opportunities, including our recently approved Northern Runway Programme, we are entering a new phase of growth that will see the airport expand its capacity to up to 80 million passengers a year, creating significant commercial opportunities for our partners over the coming decades.
“London Gatwick welcomes millions of passengers from across the globe and we are looking for ambitious operators that can deliver standout concepts, exciting new trends, exceptional customer experiences and a varied food and beverage offer that reflects the needs of our diverse passenger base. This tender gives brands the opportunity to establish themselves at the heart of one of the UK’s most important airports at the most significant time in our history.”
Trading space is available either as individual opportunities or as part of a wider portfolio proposition.
