Lagardère Travel Retail has strengthened its presence in Germany with a significant new opening at Frankfurt Airport Terminal 3, marking a major milestone in its growth strategy in one of Europe’s key aviation hubs.

The company is now operating nine food service concepts across ten locations, alongside six new stores under its Relay banner, positioning itself at the heart of the terminal’s food, dining and retail offer.

Under the theme “Heart of Europe”, the new concepts bring together a mix of international and regional culinary experiences. Highlights include the world premiere of Neni Deli, developed in collaboration with the Molcho family, alongside EL&N London®’s first airport location in Germany and Main Bissen, which offers a contemporary take on Frankfurt classics.

Other concepts include Ziglioni, focused on Italian favourites such as pizza and focaccia, and Bread & Bite, centred on freshly made sandwiches, complemented by established brands such as Burger King, Haferkater, Daily Deli and Brezelmeister.

Alongside food service, the expansion of Relay reinforces Lagardère Travel Retail’s retail proposition at the airport. The six new stores span press, books, travel essentials, souvenirs, beverages, coffee and electronics, as well as tobacco and vaping products. A strong ‘foodvenience’ element has also been introduced, with fresh grab-and-go options and self-checkout technology designed to enhance speed and convenience.

The opening further strengthens the company’s long-standing partnership with Fraport AG, as it continues to develop integrated, experience-led retail environments.

The new concept marks EL&N London®’s first airport location in Germany.

Jochen Halfmann, CEO of Lagardère Travel Retail Germany, said: “The opening today is a significant milestone and a true accolade for our team. As a long-standing partner of Frankfurt Airport, we are extremely proud of this strong collaboration. Our commitment was to go the extra mile for this special project and to offer our guests tailor-made concepts that will be remembered.”

Lucio Rossetto, Regional COO Europe at Lagardère Travel Retail, added: “We would like to warmly congratulate Fraport and our local team on the successful opening of Terminal 3, which marks an important milestone for Frankfurt Airport and for Lagardère Travel Retail. Germany remains one of the key driving markets for European travel retail, setting high standards in terms of innovation, passenger experience, and operational excellence.”

One highlight is the world premiere of Neni Deli.

Julia Kranenberg, Chief Human Resources Officer at Fraport AG, said: “Retail at Frankfurt Airport is far more than an additional offering for us. Shopping, dining, and services make a decisive contribution to the quality of stay and the passenger experience. Through a well-executed staging, they turn Terminal 3 into a place where passengers enjoy spending time. We are delighted to welcome Lagardère Travel Retail here as a strong foodservice partner.”

With a capacity of up to 19 million passengers annually, Terminal 3 represents a key driver of future growth for Lagardère Travel Retail in Germany, as it continues to scale its integrated retail and food service model across major international hubs.
